Dear Parents and Whanau,

The health and wellbeing of our children, staff and community is our top priority. 

As there was a confirmed case of COVID-19 in our community, the Centre was temporarily closed from 21st February to 25th February 2022.

We have now completed all the necessary requirements including cleaning and disinfecting the Centre according to health specifications. All affected staff and children have completed the stand-down period and we can confirm that we can safely open on Monday 28th February 2022.

Our Pandemic Policy remains active and will deactivate it as soon as the COVID traffic light is at Green.

Please follow our safety procedures which include:

·         Scanning the QR code when you come to the Centre. This includes dropping off & picking up your child.

·         Adults should wear a mask when dropping off and / or picking up their children from the Centre.

·         Use the hand sanitisers provided before entering Centre.

·         Please enter one at a time and please keep a 2 meter distance at the sign in / sign out area.

·         Please stay home if you or your child are sick.

Public Health officials have advised that children under the age of 6 should not wear face coverings and children do not need to wear face coverings at early learning centers. Other public health control measures are in place including children and staff staying home if they are sick, contact tracing, and hygiene requirements.

We’re continuing contact tracing by having QR code posters at our entrances, so please check in every time you come onsite. 

You can be rest assured we’ll continue doing everything we can to keep all the children safe and with all these measures in place, public health has confirmed the risk of infection remains low when at an early learning service.

If you have any questions about our health and safety plan, please contact the Centre Manger Victoria Isa’ako on 256 9695 or 027 627 2687 with any questions you might have.  If you prefer, you can also send an email to mangere@littlemascots.co.nz.

Thank you

Team at Little Mascots
