We are looking forward to seeing some of the older children back at St John´s Nursery Playgroup from Monday 22 June. We have been really busy getting the playgroup ready. Everything has been cleaned, the layout of the Rainbow Room has been changed to allow for social distancing between the different groups of children. The garden has been divided into to areas so as many children can be outside as possible, while still maintaining a safe distance. Mrs Dean has produced a video with the new indoor areas and another will follow showing our garden. Please see our Facebook page for the video

We hope this provides assurance that we are doing our very best to keep the children, their parents and the staff team as safe as we can. We look forward to seeing many of you from 22 June
