Autumn Term 2020 Wrap Around Provision |
Due to the restrictions of Covid-19 and government guidance, the Hive will not be able to operate at the start of the autumn term but we are glad to be able to offer some childcare before and after school. The provision will not be the full experience the children received in the Hive and will have certain restrictions to enable us to operate safely, but I hope it will be of use to some families. Children will remain in the same bubbles as they will be in during the day, which means we will require a greater number of staff due to the spread of groups across the school. This unfortunately reduces the hours we can offer and has cost implications. School will not be making a profit from this service but must break even and cover costs.
It is also important for you to understand that if a child or member of staff in a childcare bubble tests positive for Covid-19, all other members of that bubble will have to self-isolate for 14 days or until they show symptoms themselves and then 10 days after that.
Please email admin@heronhill.cumbria.sch.uk for a booking form or download the form (top of this page) and return to the school as soon as possible.

Information about dropping off and collecting from the wrap around sessions
Please drop off and collect your child/ren at the following doors; staff will be outside during the first week to direct you:
Before school, children can be dropped off at any time between 8.00 am and 8.45 am. Staff will take the children to their classrooms at 8.45 am/8.50 am.
After school children can be collected at any time but must be collected by 5.00 pm at the latest.
- The school wrap around provision will start on Wednesday 2nd September (Years 1 to 6); Monday 7th September (Nursery) and Friday 11th September (Reception). No provision will be available on Tuesday 1st September (staff training day).
- Before school childcare will be available from 8.00 am until the start of school. Before school sessions will not include any food as we are unable to provide catering services in so many different rooms. Children should all arrive at school having already had breakfast. If, on rare occasions this is not possible, they should bring a breakfast bar or similar along with a drink from home.
- After school childcare will be until 5.00 pm only, to allow each room to be cleaned ready for the next day. We will provide an individual carton of juice, a sealed snack bar type item and some fruit.
- Sessions must be booked monthly in advance (regular weekly sessions or monthly rota) so that we can staff the bubbles accordingly. I am afraid no ad hoc bookings can be taken and no bookings can be made on the day; any cancellations will not be refunded.
- Cost: before school £3.25 per child per session; after school £6.00 per child per session; late collection charge £5.00 per child per quarter hour or part of the quarter hour.
- Adults will maintain social distancing from children at all times.
It is also important for you to understand that if a child or member of staff in a childcare bubble tests positive for Covid-19, all other members of that bubble will have to self-isolate for 14 days or until they show symptoms themselves and then 10 days after that.
