The @EYAlliance has got hold of secret government documents which prove that Ministers knew they were underfunding early years and driving up childcare costs. As I say here, the Tories owe parents an apology for this betrayal and for covering it up. theguardian.com/education/2021…

Ministers ‘knowingly underfunding’ childcare sector in England
Early Years Alliance investigation finds government is ‘shamelessly’ driving costs up and quality down
We have released a joint statement with other leading organisations, calling on the govt to ensure that those working in the early years & other parts of the education sector are given the Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible. See the full statement here: eyalliance.org.uk/early-years-sc…
“If the govt can roll out lateral flow testing not only to schools but also now a significant proportion of private businesses, there is absolutely no excuse for not ensuring that the same support is made available to all PVI providers.” bbc.co.uk/news/uk-559670…
Alongside @NDNAtalk and @PACEYchildcare we are calling on the DfE to follow the Welsh government's example and make Lateral Flow Devices available to all early years providers in England. #ProtectEarlyYears eyalliance.org.uk/news/2021/02/e…
“This is a sector at breaking point.” 70% of early years practitioners have experienced anxiety related to the impact of the pandemic on their job role in the last 6 months. See the results of our latest survey in @ObserverUK today. theguardian.com/education/2021…
"The incredible people who wipe away my son’s tears deserve so much better than this." Great to see our recent survey cited in this fantastic article by @oeufling in @guardian about the need for better support for the early years sector theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"The govt must ensure all providers have proper access to testing kits and prioritisation in the next phase of vaccinations. Anything less at this stage is just not good enough." See our full comments here: eyalliance.org.uk/news/2021/01/d…
“We know that nurseries, pre-schools & childminders have worked hard to ensure that they offer a safe environment for children – but someone needs to be doing the same for them, and so far, the government has failed to do so.” standard.co.uk/news/uk/early-…

Half of early years staff ‘do not feel safe at work during lockdown’
Half of early years staff do not feel safe in their current working environment, a survey has found.
Unlike schools, nurseries and preschools have been told to stay open for all children. @EYAlliance wants all early years providers to be included in the govt’s programme for regular lateral flow testing and staff to be prioritised for a vaccine in phase 2 itv.com/news/2021-01-2…
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

Early years providers in 'incredibly difficult position' over opening and safety
"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…
