Dear parents / carers,

We are finding that there are some children who are coming into Nursery suffering from symptoms which may be a sign that they may have the Covid-19 virus.

If children come into Nursery with a main symptom e.g. coughing, then they will be sent home and are advised to have a full PCR test. This guidance is from the Health protection hub and is in place to try to minimise the spread of infection.

The latest covid guidance for Telford and Wrekin can be found here – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Telford & Wrekin Council

Main symptoms are listed as

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

Precautionary symptoms on here are outlined as

You are advised to book a COVID-19 test as a precaution, if you are showing some other symptoms that you might have this virus, such as:

• headaches
• aches and pains
• feeling very tired for no good reason
• sore throat
• runny nose
• sneezing
• tummy ache in children.

We will always follow the guidance from the hub to keep our staff and pupils as safe as possible.

Thank you for your continued support

Miss Cook

Good Morning,

We are pleased to tell you that our Mighty Oaks room  will reopen tomorrow (Tue 9th Feb) for all Mighty Oaks children.   Unfortunately our Breakfast and After School sessions will not be running,  opening times are 8.30am  – 3.20pm.  Sessions will return to normal after the half term break.

We are looking forward to welcoming all our Ladybugs children back after the Nursery half term break on (Mon 22nd Feb).

Kind regards

Dear Parents and Carers,

Despite everything that is going on in the outside world, here at Newdale we want to hold onto as many traditions as we can.

We know that Christmas cards and kind gifts sent in for staff are a huge part of Christmas and we are keen for the children to be able to swap cards safely. In order for this to happen, we will be asking you to do the following –

Please do not allow your children to lick the envelopes for obvious reasons.

Cards must only be brought in the week beginning 7th December. The last date that we can accept cards will be Friday 11th December. We will not be accepting any cards past this date.

The reason for this is that once the cards are brought in, they will be isolated in a sealed box. Following an isolation period, the cards will then be distributed to the children in the week beginning 14th December.

If we were to receive cards in after the cut off date, we would not be able to isolate them in time to send out. Please do not send any cards or gifts in after the 11th as we will not be able to accept them.

Thank you for your continued support.
