Hi all, not sure if anyone has any experience with this topic but looking for some guidance. Our child has been attending a childcare facilty for over 5 years on a full time basis since 8 months old. As he moved to school last year we now use their afterschool care 5 days a week. While he was not in their catchment area for school pick up they accepted him as we arranged for him to be brought to the after school ourselves. We have now been advised that he can no longer attend as he attends a school that they do not collect from and want to introduce a pod system based on the schools they collect from due to coronavirus risk. Can they do this? Are they allowed to exclude a child based on school attendance? While we understand the need to control coronavirus, other children are not excluded based on their attendance at other clubs and extra ciricular activities so seems harsh to pick this one measure on which to exclude a child. Our child is devastated as it has really been a second home to him and can't understand why he is being singled out for exclusion.
Any help appreciated!
