Rejected petition Provide early years settings with protection from closure
Early years settings provide an essential service to our youngest children. We support the very early communication skills and nurture the growing child
Following covid these early experiences are more important than ever, as our children have missed out in the most important early experiences.
More details
Qualified staff are able to identify those children who need additional support and work with their families ensure they are referred to and supported by the right people. In our local area settings are closing due to premises no longer being available or because settings simply can’t afford to stay open. Other local settings are full meaning children have no where to go. This is not fair and these children are being let down
