Hi all, Like many of you, we have been trying to find the answer as to whether furloughed staff can still keep in touch with families using a system such as Tapestry. The first port of call for many of you will have been, like me, to the union or their legal teams. The message from them is a resounding - no! However, we felt that they were interpreting the rules as they are written, which is what you would expect from a legal team! I have to say though, if you're expecting these legal teams to support you, and you've gone against their advice, you may find things a little more difficult. In my opinion though, the rules work brilliantly for 'commercial' place…

We have received our Rapid Lateral Flow Tests, is everyone doing the tests twice a week? We are such a small pre-school, with only three staff, we were thinking that one test per week would be sufficient, plus two of us have had the vaccine!

I know this has been posted about before but I noticed there's an update published today. Not sure if this is the number of settings or individual cases but it's pretty worrying! Reported coronavirus (COVID-19) cases by registered early years and childcare settings - GOV.UK (publishing.service.gov.uk)

Hi lovely people. I hope you are all doing ok. So - I have a situation that I feel I need to address quickly. I have just had it brought to my attention that one of our parents has been blatantly breaking all Lockdown and Social distancing rules by posting about how she spent last weekend drinking at her house with her new boyfriend from another city, and her friend and boyfriend on FB. I feel so angry as we are all being so careful to stay safe through our practise.

This data is published fortnightly. It gives the number of registered early years and childcare providers reporting one or more confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) by week. Does this mean that if a setting has 5 confirmed cases it will just be registered as one? Week commencing Number of reports 01/06/2020 0 08/06/2020 3 15/06/2020 8 22/06/2020 5 29/06/2020 8 06/07/2020 3 13/07/2020 8 20/07/2020 9 27/07/2020 23 03/08/2020 …
