Rapid Testing

Luton Borough Council is encouraging people who live, work or study in the town, who DO NOT have any COVID 19 symptoms to come forward and take a new rapid lateral flow test which can provide results in 30 minutes.  Testing is a pilot being delivered in partnership with the council and NHS Test and Trace and is part of the Government's continuing drive to increase the availability of testing.  New Guidlines - If someone you live with has tested positive you, and the whole household must self-isolate  for 10 days from the start of the symptoms/or if no symptoms the start date of the positive test result.

Two walk in centres have been set up, which the public can access from 8am - 8pm 7 days a week;

Farley Community Centre, Delphine Close, Luton 

Lwesey Community Centre Landrace Road Luton 

A Third test centre will open on 21/12/2020 in Luton Central Library

18th December 2020 - 4th January 2021

Please note during the times above, please inform the Nursery if you are staff/child, and test positive for COVID 19, in order to determine if there would be any implications for others/re-opening the Nursery in the New Year, also to possibly advise others if they need to self-isolate.

Please contact the Nursery via email: whipperleynursery@hotmail.co.uk 

Lateness

"Thank you" to parent/carers for being patient during these uncertain times, with regards to dropping off/collecting their child (staggered intake/gates opening).  Once the gate closes , you will need to bring your child to the Reception and sign your child in as being late.  Our aim is to keep all parent/carers/staff and children safe whilst in the playground, therefore the staggered intake will continue for the time being.  All lateness will be monitored , after the 2nd occasion of lateness during a term, Management will telephone the parent/carer to discuss the situation, and try and find a resolution, we will work with/support the parent/carer, however, we will be looking at the child's punctuality improving.

Please call/email Kim/Tracey (Management) should you have any worries/concerns or would like any advice or support.

Thank you for your co-operation, stay safe & keep well.
