Me too, I just gave my setting address as that was the email address it went from (though I am in the same constituency) -

Follow the science...oh no wait don’t follow the science 🤔 I emailed my MP but the generic response was ‘unless this is a COVID emergency you will not receive a response’...that sounds about right 🤬 -
just popping this here, updated 7th Jan https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-early-years-and-childcare-closures/coronavirus-covid-19-early-years-and-childcare-closures

This is crazy that some will and some won’t 😡 Dorset as always are late to the party so still no idea, we are now run by 2 councils, I council covers Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole who have said they will and the rest of Dorset are still waiting on decision...I haven’t a clue if we will have loss of earnings to furlough anyone or if I’m really going to have to ask those parents keeping children home to cover the loss or force them to send a child when they don’t want to ....it’s going to be worse financially when we just say we’re closed and furlough everyone ...such idiots!

We are on a school site that asked parents to wear them so we followed suit, staff also wear them at drop off/collection mainly because some children can need close contact handover. Face shields are worn for nappy changing and they have been given the choice to wear them generally in the setting if they want to.

last time round it ‘keep them at home if you can’, this time it’s ‘send them in or we’re withholding your funding’ ....I feel like the bad guy telling parent’s we can’t claim their funding if they don’t send ....it’s little short of blackmail 🤬

Hi, which county are you? I’ve seen a number already saying theirs will cover it (Cornwall, Southampton, northumberland)

I remember those times 🙈

Hi Cait, nice to see you you, I’m thinking that if half our chn are off and we don’t get to claim their funding we will suffer a big loss, just yesterday we would be down close on £300 in lost funded hours 🤦♀️
-
I’m with you there! 2 staff have said today for different reasons that they don’t want to work, we’ve had nearly half our chn pulled out and I will go into ratio when needed so doable until parents change their minds and more want to come back, no idea at this point if we will get a U-turn on funding and no idea if they are entitled to furlough or have to take it as unpaid leave, I’m guessing furlough is out as one won’t be available to work if required anyway and not even sure we’d have anything much to claim furlough from unless funding doesn’t come through, I guess I should be reading up about it rather than being on here .....is it half term yet? :’(

This made me lol ...good plan! I am shocked and truly believe this is a finance decision and nothing else, my county have emailed this morning to say no funding if chn don’t attend (did they already know what was coming?) and telling parents this feels like I’m blackmailing them to keep their chn in when really the more that pull out at the moment the better but it would be a massive financial hit if the funding decision isn’t changed ....and what’s one more U-turn going to matter 🤔
