Attendance at multiple settings

[AnonyMouse_41963]

Hi, 

Just wondering how everyone will be managing the return of children to their settings from 1st June, who also attend other settings or childminders??

Reluctantly we are going to say no- shared care will not be possible. Will be a waste of time trying to follow guidance of keeping to small groups if they are going off to another setting

That was my thought too.  Hard though when we have nearly half our children attending other settings!  The parents will just have to choose   

Thank you x

I asked my LA for advice and they haven’t got any. I decided I’m not allowing it for the same reason you say Lynne

I also went down the no shared care route but now I’m thinking the siblings are going to school, could be taking something home to our child who then brings it to the setting so what is the point in the no shared settings? ...crumbs I’ve woken up with a right ‘all these measures are futile’ head on this morning, I’ll try and snap out of it 🤦‍♀️

I have also said no shared care. It's a tricky one but i have a child who goes to a local childminder and ourselves. The childminder has a grandson who will be cared for at the same time and attend school ....so he will share his bubble with up to 8 children at the childminders and potentially another 50 or so at school ..adding our numbers too just makes her 'bubble' too big. 

This idea of bubbles is quite uesful and something that Guernsey has been doing.....they have now no new cases and only a few deaths (i realise they are a small island) but they are quite densly populated.

I think it's maybe more about minimising the contacts. So if your nursery child went to two settings, this would be on top of the contacts with siblings and siblings' classmates. If nursery child only came to you, this reduces the total contacts. You can't control the other interactions. That's how I'm looking at it anyway.

Yes, that's how I am looking at it.
