#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.
