Yes preparing for the big come back in June. My parents have all been in touch before I’d even read the information! I’m making the most of the next few weeks

[Mouse]

I thought one of my parents would be in touch straight away, but I haven't heard anything yet!

I'm going to email them all tomorrow and see what their plans are. I only have 5 sets of parents. One lot I don't think will come back at all, another 2 I don't think will come back straight away, but the other 2 may well want to come back on 1st June. I'll decide what I'm going to do once I know what they're likely to do.

There we go - she's messaged me! I knew it wouldn't be long

I haven't heard from any of my parents!

I think one family will want to return asap, the rest I'm not sure about. I'm happy to take my EY children back, I'm just not so sure about the schoolies ... either school runs or those for whom school has not yet opened. ... not up for home schooling! I'm going to wait for LA guidance before I agree to anything or contact my parents. I'm thinking though that I will either limit myself to EY children or a maximum of 6 mindees a day if I'm being 'encouraged' to take schoolies.

My other thought is what about those families who have/had been told to self isolate for 12 weeks ... do they still need to do so for the 12 weeks, or do they get 'early release' ?

I have 2families who could send their children to school.

Both children from one family can attend the other only 1 child can attend so who knows.

As far as I know the 12 week rule comes first so they have to stick to that.

I don’t have any school aged children on my books, but if I did I don’t think I’d have them back straight away, at least not for full days. I’d have EYFS throughout the day but I’d only have before/after school children at a real push. Even then it would only be reception, year 1 and year 6. I wouldn’t have any other age school children.

As it is I’ll probably just have the EY children who need to come back, most likely 1 or 2 a day.
