Session 2020/21

Hello everyone!!

I would like to say a huge Welcome to our new children starting with us and Welcome back to our returning children. We are incredibly happy that we are getting to be back in the ECC and looking forward to seeing all the children.

Although we are back the ECC will still be working towards the blended model. We will keep you all updated with any information we receive regarding a change in hours as soon as it is made available to us.

For our new children starting with us.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to have the children in for a visit before starting therefore for their first day/week we ask that the children only stay until 11:15am. This will help gradually make them comfortable in their new surroundings and get to know the staff and other children.

Here is a look round our ECC

When we return.

Due to new safety measures put in place we have had to change the way in which children enter the ECC therefore Parents/Carers are unable to access the building to bring in their child. The staff team will greet them in the ECC playground and take them indoors. This situation we understand is not ideal for children newly starting with us and for returners, but we will do the absolute best we can to make this transition positive for both the children and their families. We please ask for your patience and support in these changes. For pick up also the staff will bring your child out to you within the ECC playground.

Doors open for drop off 8:45-9am and pick up 2:30-2:45pm

Please inform staff member of any relevant information.

Children will be provided with a snack AM, lunch and snack PM – the lunch menus will be limited for time being and made available soon.

The children have been put in coloured groups for their designated days at the moment for the blended model, please note that once the ECC returns to 1140 this will not be the coloured group your child will be in along with their keyworker. This information will be made available once we have more information on the date we will be returning to 1140.

What your child needs.
