Kamelia Kids - Open For Business!

When we first went into lockdown, we genuinely believed this would only be for a few weeks! It is hard to believe what has happened around the world and the immeasurable repercussions this has had on people, families, businesses and lives.

Having cared for our key worker children and vulnerable children during lockdown, we were overjoyed to welcome back some of our children and families on Mon 1 Jun 20. We have undoubtedly seen unprecedented change and the requirement for constant flexibility in the Early Years sector in how we operate under government restrictions. Throughout this period, we have worked extremely hard to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children and staff.

While working under restrictions and with staff furloughed, we managed to transform part of our outside area into a wildlife and beach garden, so that the children can experience the natural world. In addition, we are set to create another outside space into a sensory and wellbeing garden to stimulate their senses and to provide a calm place to be.

In September, we will be launching our new sensory room and providing access to the interactive ‘Magic Carpet’ a state-of-the-art floor projection system which will help take our learning, play and communication with children to an entirely different level. Creating this wonderful new space, the Magic Carpet will complement our existing programme for children to learn, play and develop new skills – all the while having great fun.

Throughout the lockdown, we have remained positive and are looking forward to welcoming more children, families and staff back over the next few months.  We understand that this has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone and we sincerely hope that you and your loved ones, are more connected and determined to seize the day and utilise the incredible freedoms and choices that we all possibly took for granted.

As we head towards the latter part of the year and all it might bring, we wish everyone to stay safe and well.
