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 ☹️

Coronavirus: #Nurseries speak out about confusion over priority for vaccine - bit.ly/2ZlT995

“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-comme…

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

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?

@vickyford @GavinWilliamson you need to work faster speed it up a lot as headcount deadlines looming and we all know it takes public sector LA'S much longer than it should to get correct info out to providers!!!!

"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…
