Coronavirus / COVID-19: get back on track

We are keeping in touch with the relevant government departments to make sure our advice for you regarding coronavirus / COVID-19 is up-to-date. Use our resources for recovery to get your nursery successfully back on track to reopening following coronavirus/COVID-19. Access our toolkit on what to do if you get a positive case in your setting, and respond to our joint study with the EPI, looking at how coronavirus has impacted the early years sector.

We've launched a brand new free webinar exclusively for members. Find out what you need to do if a child or an employee at your setting tests positive for COVID-19.

#TestAllEarlyYearsWorkers

Can you spot the difference? Because we can't! We think that all early years providers (in England) should have the same access to testing kits whether they work in the PVI or maintained sector, do you? If so, please share #TestAllEarlyYearsWorkers with our video on social media for equal access to testing kits.
