March 5^th 2020 update

Hope for Children & their Families have been asked by some people and parents about the measures we have in place regarding Coronavirus.

We continue to be vigilant about the health of our staff and those we work with. Parents/carers and other professionals should advise us immediately if they believe they have been exposed to the virus or to anyone who is affected.

We are following the advice from the government and Public Health websites. These are accessed daily to keep abreast of latest developments. We are all responsible for making sure together we can contain any possible risk of spreading infection.

Guidance with regard to handwashing, health and hygiene has been updated and posters and information is available in the public areas of our centre. We continue to operate our usual standards of hygiene with regard to our facilities, resources and the setting in general.

The Centre does not intend to shut during this period unless a significant event or advice dictates otherwise.

If anyone requires any further information, we have appointed our two main points of contact as Sarah Eardley, CEO, or Anna Beddows, Centre Admin Manager.

Thank you.

Sarah Eardley

CEO

The flooding and bad weather is affecting travel to the Centre on Monday 17th February.

The Centre will open but we anticipate only a skeleton staff will be able to get in due to the widespread flooding.   If you are planning to visit the Centre or bring your child to Holiday Club, we recommend you phone us on 01885 488495 so we can update you on the latest news and how you may be affected.

Please check our social media or website for further details tomorrow (17th February).

A few of the Whitegates residents and staff recently came to visit Oscars Café.
They all enjoyed lunch, cake & watching the children in Soft Play.
We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit.
