• JETs Community Hub Survey

  Wed 23 Mar 2022

  We are currently evaluating our services for our families within J.E.Ts to help us continue to provide the best community care and education for our children and families, and are researching the need for a Community Centre / Hub at The J.E.Ts Centre.

   

  To ensure that any proposals meet the need of the local community, we would like to undertake research to establish how many parents would like to take advantage of Community Centre / Hub Facilities. We would be extremely grateful if you could take a few minutes of your time to answer the questions on our short survey. Even if you would not be accessing the Community Centre services right now, it would still be beneficial for us to have your valuable input for the future development of the service. 

   

  You can answer the survey by clicking this link >>> Community Hub Survey which will take you to another web page. 

   

  Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to hearing your responses.

• CO-VID 20/21 -SPRING 2021-STEP 2

  Thu 08 Apr 2021

• Schools returning back in March 2021, Please find latest information letter and forms

  Mon 22 Feb 2021 Louise

  Hope everyone is well and ready to get back to a bit of normality!

   

  As we wait in anticipation of the new guidance to come out later this evening or tomorrow (23.02.2021), JETs are aiming to put plans in place ready for the forthcoming guidance from the Government and also following plans with the schools.

   

  We have attached a booking form for you to complete, so JETs have an idea of who will require our services when the schools return.

   

  The biggest task(s) is how we need to operate now and the potential size of groups allowed, hopefully we won’t have the same restrictions as we’re trying to operate with now and avoid the need to potentially minimise the groups of children.  Also, how flexible we can be with bookings.

   

  Our plan is to open Breakfast Club, Afterschool Club, Monday through to Friday, and potentially our  Holiday Clubs, but this again come down to ratio/staffing/availability for parents who really need this.

   

  Though it may be challenging for some, we will aim to try and accommodate the children the best way we can, though it cannot be guaranteed for some.

   

  • All parents/legal guardians will be required to commit to a set booking until the beginning of Easter Holidays.
  • All sessions booked will be charged for whether or not your child attends the club.
  • All bookings and cancellations must be made through the main office.
  • We may accept ad hoc bookings for children who don’t attend on a regular basis if space is available (fees must be paid up front).  We will also allow additional booking, if your child already attends and there is space available within the setting.
  • Parents and Legal guardians will be required to collect their children before closing time, to ensure all areas are cleaned with no children present.

   

  All details above will be reviewed on a weekly basis, depending on the guidance and requirements stated.

   

  We would like all parents/legal guardians to complete the attached booking form to confirm your child’s place in the club. (Though these days required may not be guaranteed)

   

  Again, this is just a general feed for parents.  At the moment we have no guidance or information as of this afternoon (22-02-2021), but if your circumstances have unfortunately changed and you no longer require a place for your chid(ren), please could you let us know as soon as possible.

   

  But if you require your child to have a place please could you complete the attached form as soon as possible. 

   

  We are trying to plan for the families, JETs ratios, staffing and aiming to try to meet your needs of our service.

   

  We do require all booking forms to be signed, once received we will advise you as soon as our guidance for Out of School Service becomes available.

   

  Yours sincerely

• February Half Term

  Thu 14 Jan 2021 Carolyn

  It is with regret we wish to inform you that February half term club will not be going ahead. There has only been limited interest and this would be unsustainable

   

   

• January UPDATE

  Tue 05 Jan 2021 Carolyn

  Following the latest lockdown announcement, and the closures of schools we wish to inform all our families that our Nursery will remain open, and we are hoping to continue to provide our out of school services for the children who meet the schools criteria for attendance. We are working our socks off to make these arrangements as quick as possible and will be emailing updates. we urge all our parents to keep an eye out for emails and if you are notified by your school that you meet the criteria and you will require our services could you contact us asap to let us know.

  Thank you

• September Services 2020- update information returning back to school

  Wed 26 Aug 2020 Louise

  Dear Parents/Guardians, 

   

  Please find the following up date via our Newsletter Page.  

  We have emailed you a copy from our Database.

   

  Thank you

• SEPTEMBER SERVICES

  Thu 06 Aug 2020 Louise

   

  With regard to the September Services, we are still waiting for the Department of Education to send all providers nationally with the guidance

   

  I know this is frustrating for everyone, but we can't do anything until with receive the information. 

  They did promise the 11th August but unfortunately we are still waiting.

  This is what we have from them 

  Before and after school childcare (autumn term 2020)
  The updated DfE guidance for wraparound settings providing before and after school childcare from September 2020 has not yet been published. We have been repeatedly assured by the DfE that its release is 'imminent' since late July. Our understanding is that it is still awaiting final sign-off by central government.

  The government expectation is clearly that wraparound clubs will be able to open, as this was included in the guidance for schools which was first published on 2 July. And the schools guidance also indicates that there is the possibility of children being allowed to be in second groups in after school clubs if it is not possible to keep them in the same bubble as during the school day. However the guidance for schools does not go into detail about the sizes of groups, whether clubs can take children from more than one school, or how much mixing might be tolerated, or whether additional protective measures will be required. It is this detailed information that providers need in order to plan their provision and which we are hoping to see in the promised updates to the current guidance for out of school settings.

   

  We can only apologise for any inconvenience caused 

   

  Update 25/8/20

  The government guidance has finally been released however there are many points and worries that have been raised regarding this guidance. We hope to seek some clarity from Sefton this week. We apologise that we cant be of more help at this time. And we will update you all again asap
