While schools and colleges closed again at the start of this new year to all but vulnerable and key worker children, the decision has been made by the government to keep early years settings open. So, Hatch Warren and Kempshott Under Fives remain open for all children.

Please be reassured that we are working harder than ever to keep preschool safe, fun and positive for our children. We have very stringent cleaning measures and frequent hand washing in place and there are no visitors inside the settings.

Please could we remind parents to wear face coverings at drop off and pick up times, stay socially distanced and please do not enter the settings.

The children are having great fun and are spending more time than ever in the gardens and outdoors!

For children that are staying at home for this uncertain period, we are posting lots of fun activities on Tapestry so they can still stay involved with preschool at home.
