Following the latest Government advice released last night relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our Southampton Pre-schools at Townhill, Newtown and Weston with immediate effect. Our number one priority is the health and wellbeing of our families and staff, and this is a necessary step in ensuring their safety. We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause a small number of our families and again would like to thank everyone for your support at this time.

If you are a critical keyworker and require urgent childcare, our Woolston Nursery will remain open for you to use, and where possible a staff member from your child’s setting will accompany them for support. Please speak with your child’s Pre-school as soon as possible if you would like to talk more about this option, or email chris.heighway@ymca-fg.org. Pre-School telephone numbers will also be diverted to Woolston nursery where staff can answer your queries also. Once again, we urge you to keep your child home if possible and please continue to follow government advice.

We will continue to update you over the coming weeks and do our very best to support you and our communities through this challenging time.
