**Drop off/Pick up changes from Monday 1st November**

We have reviewed our current procedures regarding pick up and drop off arrangements. Cases in our local area are still higher than the national average, so we will be proceeding with caution and on a trial basis in order that we can assess the outcome of any  changes.  

We therefore propose the following changes with effect from Monday 1st November:

DROP OFF/PICK UP: parents will be invited in through the main school gate.
(Wenrisc Drive), and into the outdoor play area of the playgroup building.
This arrangement is a trial and if cases occur in our setting or begin to rise in the village, we will revert back to our current drop off/collection arrangements. We would ask you to support us by complying with the following:

- Once through the main school gate, please hold your child's/children's hand along the pathway that runs along the side of the main school building. Please do not let your child/children run ahead unaccompanied. The school car park  is used by school staff and for deliveries and your child's safety is key.

-  In the morning please wait in the play area until a member of staff opens the door and  will supervise children taking their coats off.  Can we kindly ask that you close the        entrance gate to the play area for the children's safety.

- At pick up time please wait in the play area for your child/children to come to you.

- Please do not enter the playgroup building.

Thank you for you co-operation.
