Covid-19 Policy DIY

UPDATED WEDNESDAY 6TH DECEMBER 2020

 

INFORMATION TAKEN FROM GOV.UK WEBSITE

 

Be Cuckoo Events and Sleepovers agrees that in line with Government guidance business activities should only take place where we can establish social distancing, safe systems of work, and suitable protection measures for customers/staff and good disinfecting procedures for equipment. 

Teepee hire is only to be used in one room within the household and should not be moved between rooms after installation.

NATIONAL LOCKDOWN
 

Use of the hire equipment must be from the residents of 1 household only. Where customers are found in breach of this, Be Cuckoo Events and Sleepovers reserve the right to immediately arrange collection of the equipment. Sleepovers, picnics or movie nights must be for household members only part from the exception of:

 

The following people can provide childcare support in private homes and gardens:

• registered childcare providers, including nannies

• people in your support bubble

• people in your childcare bubble
   

A childcare bubble is where someone in one household provides informal (unpaid and unregistered) childcare to a child aged 13 or under in another household. For any given childcare bubble, this must always be between the same 2 households.

​

Friends or family who do not live with you and are not part of a support or childcare bubble must not visit your home to help with childcare. Childcare bubbles are to be used to provide childcare only, and not for the purposes of different households mixing where they are otherwise not allowed to do so. 

 

Support bubble:

A support bubble is a close support network between a household with only one adult in the home (known as a single-adult household) and one other household of any size. This is called making a ‘support bubble’.

Once you’re in a support bubble, you can think of yourself as being in a single household with people from the other household. It means you can have close contact with that household as if they were members of your own household.

Once you make a support bubble, you should not change who is in your bubble.

 

Who can make a support bubble

If you’re in a single-adult household

​

You can form a support bubble with another household of any size that is not part of a support bubble with anyone else if you:

• live by yourself – even if carers visit you to provide support

• are a single parent living with children who were under 18 on 12 June 2020

 

If you live with other adults, including if your carer or carers live with you

You can form a support bubble with one single-adult household who are not part of a support bubble with anyone else.

 

If you share custody of your child with someone you do not live with

If you’re a single-adult household, you can form a support bubble with another household other than the one that includes your child’s other parent.

If you’re not a single adult household, you can form a support bubble with a single-adult household other than the one that includes your child’s other parent.
