    Thanks Rebecca, The aim is to not have close contact for more than 15 mins, I can only see that being necessary if a child becomes upset or ill, if Ill PPE is available.

    Nope and I’d take GDPR any day :’(
  3. AnonyMouse_7120
    I’m not so worried about it all works if someone has symptoms (well I obviously am worried) but more unsure where this ‘track & trace’ is gong to leave us, staff wise and finance wise. Rebecca - can I ask if you’re doing staff/parent agreements due to GDPR if a member of staff is asked to give their details or Are you using agreements we already have in place to get around this? I guess we could say it’s Legal Obligation/safeguarding? Crumbs that was 2 yrs ago we were all working our way through that minefield ....no wonder I’ve forgotten it all 🙈

    I think I’d go with the 2nd option to start with then you have an option if you need to start a 2nd bubble, we’re one room and haven’t split for 1st bubble, not sure I’m going to split for the 2nd bubble either, just 1 in, 1 out, clean and rotate resources. I wish I’d left till the following week as have now spent the whole half term preparing 😠
  5. AnonyMouse_7120
    But as you were going around Tesco (other supermarkets are available) did you give everyone your data protection policy and ask them to sign an agreement that you could give out their details 🤦‍♀️ I’m not seeing anyone is going to be happy with either sick pay or paid holiday https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-test-and-trace-how-it-works

    I’ve decided to provide a tub of sand from the sand pit they can’t get in 😢 for the mud (sand) kitchen and ditch between groups.

    I’m still furloughing a couple of staff, we are still working on feb ‘private income’ to work out the % and still have a little in the furlough pot even though funding increased for summer term.....or have I missed something?
  8. AnonyMouse_7120
    Ohhh I love hunted but do get a bit annoyed that they have no hope when the hunters can go in to homes and demand to check friends and families phones 😡 Now BJ is saying can furlough staff who have to isolate for 2 weeks .....doesn’t he know it has to be a min 3 weeks ?
  9. AnonyMouse_7120
    I actually am, but only as they meet the ‘vulnerable’ list, and following discussions it’s felt it will be a good thing for the child, if it was just general circumstances I’d say no, especially as a term time only setting anyway.
  10. AnonyMouse_7120
    I am going to add new chn to an existing bubble because my first bubble will be too small if it stays as is, making it impossible moving forward with enough staff or places to put the bubbles.
  11. AnonyMouse_7120
    I just can’t see people will do it if it means losing pay 🤷‍♀️ and we also now need to think about the implications regards gdpr if we (or a staff member) are contacted by a tracer and asked to give details of our families and other staff ...another agreement to prepare 🤦‍♀️
  12. AnonyMouse_7120
    Interesting question, I hadn’t thought about it, but I guess I’d follow the same guidance that we would if a child or staff had to leave the setting with symptoms, which only says anyone else would have to isolate if a test was positive. I’d ask the family to let me know if they developed symptoms themselves and for test results. I think RP asked a question tonight on the same thing, he asked if he was contacted and told to self-isolate could he go home or have to stay away from the family, I’m sure the answer was he could go home to S-I and his family wouldn’t have to S-I unless he developed symptoms, so on that one parent might be told they have to S-I but the other could still bring a child to the setting....It’s all getting very confusing and something else that will need adding to the plan 🤦‍♀️ Edit - found this on the BBC news site, but it also raises another question ....if a member of staff is contacted and told to S-I for 14 days who’s paying them?
  13. AnonyMouse_7120
    I’ll see you in jail 😝 I only have to 1st June, I’ll get on an HMRC chat tomorrow and plead to their better nature ...or not
  14. AnonyMouse_7120
    It still says you have to file the return even if doing a nil to pay.
  15. AnonyMouse_7120
    I’ll try harder then 🤦‍♀️ I can see a link on the letter saying ‘if you calculate no payment is due’ ...well I haven’t calculated anything I just think we won’t have to pay anything as a charity?
  16. AnonyMouse_7120
    I’m going to do that too, when I phoned HMRC to ask why’d I’d had the letter and we are a charity was told I still had to submit the self assessment and why I was being sent an access code, but nothing would be due to pay 🤷‍♀️ edit: on the letter there is a ‘check-if-you-tax-return’ link but it starts off with we’re you self- employed, did you use that? Do they realize I don’t have time for this with everything there is to do right now without them threatening penalty fines 😡
  17. AnonyMouse_7120
    I’m thinking maybe just adding a photo of form to an ob so parent can comment that they’ve seen it, not ideal as I don’t really want them in journals but I’ve never really used ‘reports’ to be confident with that (I might have a play if I have time).
  18. AnonyMouse_7120
    You’re soon going to find out ...don’t forget to record your findings 😝
  19. AnonyMouse_7120
    Oops it’s quoted twice and no idea how to delete one. How did you do that Louby? I logged in but it said I needed an access code to use the scheme (I’d had one sent for the account no one could sort out for furlough so now need another as it expired). when I logged in it said I had an over due amount of £39 to pay 😟 no idea why as I’ve paid what payroll told me to pay so it has to be this Sodding furlough nonsense, I’m presuming it’s to do with NI/pension on top up payments,, I’m sure I wasn’t asked that on the first claim but is in this one I’ve just done ....but who knows or cares, I’ve sent the question to my very helpful payroll team 🤷‍♀️
  20. AnonyMouse_7120
    Individual pots? Set of own resources, washed after use, would have to be adult led though to ensure no mixing or eating, couldn’t really share resources in a bubble as they could contaminate a rolling pin them the next child use it ... it is totally going against the grain of “share the playdough” or I would think play as bubble for a short period sharing playdough and resources then ditch?
  21. AnonyMouse_7120
    Is anyone else planning on applying for the ‘Local Authority Discretionary Grant’? I’m going to try on point 24. Charity rates relief not being entitled to claim the SBRG, it will be unfair if they means test as businesses entitled to SBRG weren’t so we’ll see, but might be worth a shot if anyone fell through the ‘small business grant rates relief’ net. I have to do my next furlough claim today, also have a ‘corporation tax reminder’, I was supposed to reapply for an access code for that but it got totally overlooked in the trying to sort out a way to access the furlough scheme through the PAYE account, does anyone realize this is supposed to be half term as in no pay half term for lots of us 🤦‍♀️
  22. AnonyMouse_7120
    Haha the rough edges aren’t the problem it’s the smooth shiny bits 😝
  23. AnonyMouse_7120
    It was the letters/paper thing that struck me as totally at odds to what we are told by government about our post. We’ve now stripped everything back to what we think is easily cleanable and it didn’t leave a lot (after the plastic fantastic revolution) but it looks very tidy, it will be interesting to see if chn miss anything (other than dressing up rack) ask for things not out or just accept it isn’t there.
  24. AnonyMouse_7120
    Gravel pits? Is that a no too?
  25. AnonyMouse_7120
    It might be a go back to the old way before continuous provision where you knew exactly what was coming out each day, we have units that we can change what’s on them and then turn the other units inwards so what’s on them can’t be accessed.
