Hi Everyone, I've sent all parents of playschool an email, out lining the possible return from 1st June. Please could i ask that you read and reply to the email as soon as possible, so we can make plans, do risk assessments, and put safety measures into place for the returning children.
Many thanks

This is something I’ve read this evening after the prime ministers announcement. Doesn’t look like we even get a mention, hopefully we will know more tomorrow. Stay safe and take care everyone.

RESPONSE FROM THE EARLY YEARS ALLIANCE

Prime Minister Boris Johnson failed to mention the early years sector during today's update on plans to ease the current coronavirus lockdown.

Speaking earlier this evening, the Prime Minister stated that by 1 June at the earliest, reception, Year 1 and Year 6 primary schools pupils might be able to return to school. He added that the government aims for secondary pupils facing exams next year to get some time with their teachers before the holidays.

More detail on the government's plans is expected tomorrow. The Alliance will be seeking clarity on the government's plans for the early years sector as a matter of urgency.

Commenting on today's announcement, Alliance chief executive Neil Leitch said:

"We are incredibly disappointed and frustrated that while today’s announcement offered some clarity on plans to reopen schools, there was no mention of the early years sector.

"Nurseries, childminders and pre-schools need a clear plan of action on how they are going to be supported, both practically and financially, to re-open as lockdown eases, but as it stands, it is unclear how – or even if – they are included in the government’s proposals.

“It is vital that the early years isn’t simply tacked onto the end of whatever plans government is making for schools. The early years is a unique sector with unique needs, and providers are going to face significant changes to the way they operate on a day-to-day basis, especially given the age of the children they care for.

"As such, government needs to be clear how it expects childcare providers to operate during this transition period, and crucially, what financial support it plans to provide.

“Given the Alliance’s recent survey found that one in four childcare providers felt they wouldn’t survive the year, the
government simply cannot afford to drag its feet on this. The Prime Minister has said that the UK 'can be stronger and better than ever before' - but without a functioning, sustainable childcare sector, this simply won’t be possible.”
