Hi All,
Just to confirm, Early Years settings are specifically exempt from the new Lockdown. Although we are aware than some local nurseries have closed completely or limited service, we currently intend to continue providing normal service for as long as this remins operationally possible.
If staff absences due to loss of childcare, sickness or contact group exlcusion change our ability to offer normal service, we will contact all impacted families individually.
As with Lockdowns 1 and 2, the contractual position is that available sessions are invoiced regardles of attendance, but no fees are changed for sessions when a room or the whole Centre is closed.
Kind Regards,
James.
