Yesterday, I confirmed:
The school will continue to operate an emergency childcare service to support all those families who have identified key workers. However, these are unprecedented times. In order for me to appropriately staff this provision, please could you e-mail enquiries@barrowby.lincs.sch.uk to confirm whether you still require emergency childcare for:
I would ask that all parents who have previously reserved an emergency childcare place: email to either confirm or now cancel the places as childcare arrangements at home have changed.
In addition, could you also indicate the school drop-off time and collection time. We recommend that children are collected from school as soon as possible after the key worker has finished work.
We are now looking to open the Emergency Childcare bookings for the 1st week of the Easter holidays, hopefully tomorrow-Friday 27th March 2020. This is an unprecedented situation where our school is looking to support those critical or key workers, if needed-over the Easter holidays.
The Government have clearly stated:
Critical workers are defined as parents whose work is critical to the COVID-19 response, including those who work in health and social care and in other critical sectors.
However, many parents working in these critical sectors will be able to ensure their child is kept at home.
Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.
Please ensure you complete the online ParentmailPMX survey is a timely manner. If you no longer require the Emergency Childcare place, please ensure you email: enquiries@barrowby.lincs.sch.uk
In addition, I can confirm that we have placed an order for 72 Food Boxes for those families who access the Universal Free School Meals or receive Free School Meals. We expect the Food Boxes to arrive, early next week, however we will confirm date and collection times as soon as we have been notified.
