Nursery World - Coronavirus: DfE updates guidance on holiday clubs but some providers warn it is still 'not clear enough'

The DfE has updated the guidance for holiday club providers on the protective measures they should employ to minimise risk of transmission of the virus over the summer.

Mini Minors holiday club will operate at 50 per cent capacity this summer to keep to small groups of children

The change in guidance comes after the DfE confirmed on 3 July that children attending holiday clubs this summer will be able to mix with others, if it is not possible for them to stay in one consistent group or 'bubble'.

Providers are told to use their 'best judgement' in creating and reviewing groups of children to minimise the amount of mixing.

Key changes to the document include that providers should seek to ensure that children are assigned to a particular class or group of no more than 15 at the first session and should stay in this consistent group for future sessions.
