Childcare on the front-line - smalltalk (summer 2020)

Approximately 30 per cent of Early Years Wales members have been open and on the front-line during lockdown.

After a month in lockdown, Early Years Wales posted a ‘shout out’ on their social media channels asking if members, who were open and caring for the children of key workers and vulnerable children, would like to share their experiences with the sector – the aim of publishing their stories in the summer issue of smalltalk.

Undoubtably the ‘new norm’ will bring about new ways of doing things and having to be innovative in our daily practices. The settings that responded proved that they were already doing that. As a result of having to adapt quickly to new ways of working during Covid-19, they were already seeing so many positive changes in the ways the children are learning and developing.

Slimmed down versions of the case studies we received have been published in the summer 2020 issue of smalltalk which can be downloaded here

The unedited accounts have been compiled and can be downloaded below.
