Let’s be honest, working in a nursery setting can be very messy at times, and with the recent outbreak, you’re probably running around trying to make sure all your little ones are washing their hands and binning their tissues. Lucky for you, we’ve made some handy sing-along posters for you to put up around your nursery. 

Along with this, we thought of some top tips to help you get by!

• Have tissue boxes or packets in each room handy so you and your kids can easily reach them 
• Take some time to sing the songs and show your children how to wash their hands properly
• Give your nursery a scrub down, including all the toys – it might be worth putting away anything that’s too difficult to clean for a while 
• Talk to your parents about how you’re preparing your nursery and consider telling your children what is happening and why they need to be careful about germs.
• Make sure your children know to tell a staff member if they feel unwell
• Develop an action plan for any potential closures and staff shortages
• Check your insurance plan – the Government has registered Covid-19 as a ‘notifiable disease’, but nurseries may still be unlikely to be covered by insurance for closures. You can read the full Nursery World article here

Print these out and take some time to sing them to your children.
