Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We had to dismiss 2 members of staff in the last 2 of months and our deputy was off sick. This caused a temporary disruption while we hire replacements. We have acted responsibly and before those staff members could do any harm-our safeguarding processes worked as they are supposed to.  During this time, we increased our usual staff levels and senior staff have been providing additional support.  We appreciate that during these few weeks, there was a disruption to our usual curriculum, as cover staff are not fully familiar with our way of doing things.  Our deputy is now back from sick leave and we are in pre-employment checks with a couple of staff who are of high caliber and keen to start, as soon as safer recruitment processes are completed.  Once they are in place, we look forward to resuming our usual exceptional early years education and hope parents have a little bit of patience and understanding during this time.
