Can YOU spot the difference...? Because we can't! Share if you agree that ALL early years workers need the same access to at-home testing... ndna.org.uk/test-all-ey #TestAllEarlyYearsWorkers #Coronavirus #COVID19 @NurseryWorld @childcareedexpo @daynurseriesuk

Private, Independent & Voluntary Early Years are the Cinderella Service ☹️

“The sector does not need false hope or mixed messages. It deserves a real assurance from the government that they will be given priority access to the vaccine so they can carry out their vital roles without fear." See our full comments here: eyalliance.org.uk/alliance-c…

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. A quote from Nelson Mandela builds hope. Right now the #earlyyears sector is on its knees. Let us rise up #vaccinesforteachers

Listening to #earlyyears colleagues with rising cases of #COVID19 and still pressured to remain open as we will not get Gov funding, navigate furlough rules and still no priority for #testing and #vaccine . It makes no sense. Change the rules and #vaccinateteachersnow

Covid cases, testing, vaccinations & funding: have your say in our *NEW* early years survey. We are asking providers to respond to this survey by 19 January, to give us the strongest possible evidence base for our ongoing discussions with the government. research.net/r/EYCovidImpact

We are seeing examples of local authorities offering ‘at-home’ test kits to PVI providers and we are encouraging members to ask their councils too. Please tweet and tag us if your council is offering this.

Insightful blog from our CEO, Zoe Raven about the impact this Lockdown is having on Early Years settings. acornearlyyears.org.uk/act-l…
Late news so share in the morning. #earlyyears excluded from access to lateral test kits by @educationgovuk Given to maintained nurseries and primary schools only. Do our staff not count? This segregation must stop. Bad for children and lousy for the sector. #vaccines #testing

Wow! @educationgovuk have you noticed your schools and maintained nurseries are largely closed?
Replying to @EYAlliance
"It is a complete insult to find out that the DfE's promise to roll out asymptomatic testing in the early years only applies to the maintained sector, with PVI providers once again left to fend for themselves." See our full comments: eyalliance.org.uk/news/2021/… #ProtectEarlyYears

"We know how vital access to early education and care is to many families, but it cannot be right to ask the early years workforce to put themselves at risk." See our comments in BBC News here 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/education-556…

Fantastic to hear so many MPs support the aims of our #ProtectEarlyYears campaign in yesterday's debate. You can still use our handy form to email your MP and ask for their support here: eyalliance.org.uk/ask-your-m…
The Early Years sector feels forgotten during COVID, and need - information about safety and PPE as staff do not feel safe - staff testing and vaccines - funding based on pre-COVID levels - state nurseries able to get catch up funding #makeearlyyearssafe @NEUnion @EYAlliance
