Covid-19

During these ever-changing and uncertain times Dinotots Senior Leadership Team would like to offer as much assistance and as much clarity as possible on how Coronavirus affects our setting.

As I’m sure you are aware we are informed of the government updates at exactly the same time as you do and as such have to make, sometimes very difficult, decisions quickly with the best interests of our staff, children and their families at the forefront of our minds. 

You may find it helpful to have a look through some of the government advice that has been created specifically with parents in mind. What parents need to know. This is a very helpful guide particularly in relation to some of the complexities surrounding government funding entitlement. 

The government have also recently published some specific guidance in relation to changes that may affect your claim for tax free childcare and/or 30 hours childcare during the coronavirus.

Dinotots Senior Leadership Team promise to be open and honest with you and update you as regularly as we can, however in the meantime we have compiled a number of frequently asked questions (FAQ) that we hope will be of help to you.

Although some may currently be in draft format we have produced the following documents. To view the documents please click on the corresponding links

• Covid-19 Site Operating Procedures
• Covid-19 Risk Assessment
• Covid-19 First Aid Roles and Responsibilities
• Covid-19 Cleaning Dinotots Setting

Updates will happen in response to changing guidance at National and Local Authority level. It may also be modified in response to staff consultation or other factual recommendations. These Documents may also be added to over time, should there be a perceived requirement by the SLT
