Coronavirus (COVID-19) update - 2 September

Since June nursery, childcare settings and childminders have been welcoming children back, following the easing of lockdown, as long as they can make their premises COVID-19 safe.

Many nurseries and childminders in Camden had already successfully and safely reopened - and the vast majority are now back to business as usual, with the relevant protective measures in place, from September. Read or download our poster / flyer for parents (see below for translations):

Period poverty - free sanitary products for women and girls

Free sanitary products for local women and girls who need them are now available from reception at our four children's centres above - thanks to a joint effort by the Council and and local campaign group The Tricky Period.

Our teams can also deliver to family homes if people are shielding or self-isolating.
