Covid Secure Measurements

Following advice from Public Health England and the Department for Education, we've worked hard to put in place Covid secure measures for our classes while aiming to preserve the fun and relaxed learning atmosphere that we all in enjoy.
 
We hope these measures will reassure you. The measures will change with Government updates, we hope in September that many will relaxed.

Below are some of the measures we have put in place to help keep us all safe. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. 

Please note that if a class is cancelled due to Covid-19; it will be fully refundable.  Chippenham, Devizes & Marlborough classes will now be held in bigger rooms at their venues.

Social Distancing
  • New maximum class sizes linked to venue size
  • Longer gap between classes to minimise cross class contact.
  • Children/Parent/Carers will be encouraged to leave the building promptly and avoid arriving too early to avoid contact with other classes.
  • Children should be encouraged to remain near parent/carer at all times
  • Parent/carers will bring their own mats and place them on socially distanced markers on the floors to make sure they are 2m apart
  • Parent/Carers will wear masks when moving around the building, but when seated will remove
  • Parents/carers (until the government guidance changes) will be asked not to sing
  • Class leader will wear a full-face shield and remain 2m distance from everyone in class
  • Parents/Carers must socially distance (in line with the current Government guidance) from others, including the class leader, in the class and the venue’s common spaces e.g. corridors.
  • Everyone attending Magical Music will follow the venue specific Covid-19 guidelines e.g. one way systems, limited people in toilets etc.





New Online Booking System
  • Registration and booking will be through our ‘New’ online booking system
  • Only card payments will be accepted to avoid the handling of cash
  • Terms & Conditions will be signed online

Small Equipment & Props
  • Children will be allocated their ‘own bag of sterilised props’ at the beginning of the class to avoid handing out props in classes and to enable an easy hand in at the end.

Large Equipment & Props
  • Any large equipment used will only be used by one group a day and then sterilised. 

Hand washing and hygiene
  • Children/Parents/Carers to hand sanitise before and after classes
  • All venues are now following their own Covid cleaning precautions with extra cleaning especially of common areas
  • Surfaces and floors will be regularly wiped and sprayed down including frequently used areas like door handles especially between classes.
