The information below is concerning the arrangements for parents and children who have pre-booked childcare from June 29th.
• Please be aware that childcare needs to be pre-booked, and you cannot turn up on the day without prior arrangement with Mrs Phillips. This is to ensure we have enough staff and areas available.
• Childcare will run from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
• The entrance and exit for childcare will be the Nursery gate on Llwyn Mawr Close, the far side of the lay by. Please do not use any other entrance.
• A member of staff will meet you at the gate and you will need to sign a form to say that your child is well. Your child will then be guided to the room which has been allocated for childcare.
• At 3:30, please wait at the Nursery gate for your child and ensure you are socially distanced.
• If you want to collect your child before 3:30, please telephone the office and they will inform the members of staff in charge of childcare. We will then bring your child to the Nursery gate to meet you.
• On week 3, if your child is attending their half day session in their class, they will not be able to attend childcare for the other half of the day. This is because we cannot mix bubbles of children.
• Your child will need to bring lunch, a water bottle, a snack and a coat if necessary. On a sunny day, they will also require a sun hat and a bottle of sun cream. The children will be asked to apply their own sun cream. Please ensure that all items your child brings are clearly labelled with their name.
• Please ensure that your child attends in freshly laundered clothes each day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email Cath Fox on FoxC17@hwbcymru.net

Important Update – Message from Mrs Phillips
for our school, discussing what the return from the 29th June will look like and how it can be done as safely as possible. We are waiting for guidance and further directives from WG (Welsh Government) and the LA (Local Authority).
Important Update – Message from the Director of Education 3/6/20
- All schools are to re-open from June 29 for a trial and transition period.
- Pupils may need to be brought into schools in very small groups due to social distancing and it is anticipated that no school would have any more than a third of pupils in school at any one time.
- The plan is to extend the remaining term by one week that means schools will be open for 4 weeks before the summer break.
- All schools are being asked to make available a check in and catch-up session for every child to attend over the 4 week period.
- Attendance will be voluntary and there will be not be any fines should pupils not attend.
- From June 29 the children of key or front line workers will attend their normal school.

COVID-19 Information for Parent Carers
We do hope this email reaches you safe and well. We know what a challenging time it has been adjusting to the current situation.
It has been very overwhelming keeping track of changing services as they adapt and knowing what services are still available and how to best support our families. With this in mind, Swansea Parent Carer Forum felt there was a need to collate parent carers questions and concerns. We then started working with Swansea Council and Swansea Bay University Health Board to make sure these questions and concerns are met with clear accurate information and any gaps addressed.
The result is a co-produced booklet, ‘COVID-19 Information for Parent Carers’.
We are very pleased to publish the first issue. As the situation develops and you have further questions we will publish updates in subsequent issues.
We really hope you find the information useful.
Didn’t answer your question? Then please let us know. It is your experiences and voice that guide our work. info@swanseapcf.org
We would like to thank all parent carers who have contributed to this document through Swansea’s communities and to Swansea Council and Swansea Bay University Health Board. We look forward to your feedback.
