I have given this a lot of thought (too much thought) - I would not even attempt social distancing with children in my care - to do so, in my humble opinion, would be detrimental to their emotional well being. I would however want adults to 'social distance' - my ideas so far:
Children to be kept at home if they have any signs of illness (no exceptions - I don't want to hear "oh but he/she wanted to come")
Parents to wait outside building, social distancing here please, door will be opened at 9am and children to be 'sent to' staff member manning the door (parents will not be permitted to enter building under any circumstances)
Children to independently change their outdoor shoes to slippers (they can all manage this)
Children will then wash their hands (under adult supervision) before beginning the pre-school session
No changing bags, show and tell items to be brought in to pre-school (I'm thinking the less 'baggage' they bring with them lessens the risk of infection)
End of session - parents to wait outside building (again, observing social distancing) and children will be 'released' individually and safely to their waiting parents
No transition visits to Primary School
No visits from Reception teacher/headteacher
No visits from new starters (September)
No visits from any adults at all
That all sounds pretty 'miserable' really, but my aim is to make this as safe an experience as possible.
I don't want any of this to happen, I don't want us to re-open in June
My first move if we are told to re-open would be to canvass opinion of parents i.e. will they want children to return
I have read that the 'R value' is rising again in Denmark where they have re-opened schools in a very controlled manner
