06. What are some of the changes to everyday routines?

We will do our best to maintain our normal routines for consistency and continuity for our children, however some adaptions may have to be made to ensure the safety of the children. We will be limiting the number of staff and children using the toilet facilities at the same time, taking children regularly in their bubbles.  

Our normal practice is to encourage children to self-serve their own snacks and meals; however, to ensure safety, our staff will be serving the children to limit the amount of people touching/coming into contact with the food. Where appropriate, we will be encouraging snack and mealtimes to be held outside in the fresh air.

To ensure children have a safe and healthy sleeping space, we will be encouraging children to sleep outside in the fresh air (if weather permits), in shaded areas to ensure good ventilation. This has already been adopted in some of our nurseries and will be promoted across all nurseries, where possible.
