Protect All Childcare Workers and Support All Children – directly fund nurseries and guarantee provision for all disadvantaged children! Please sign and share our open letter calling on government to:
Close Early Years settings to all but key workers, vulnerable children, and *all* children identified with SEND, in line with schools
Prioritise Early Years and SEN staff for vaccinations https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ma6DLOOc2ro3YdwVnIPYolUUdIv22A5XsXrMYHSXs6g/
Make furlough a legal right for *all* early years workers and parents in the case of shielding, childcare, or closure of early years settings for public health – and ensure it doesn’t fall below Real Living Wage
Fix the SEISS so that parents and childminders stop falling through the gaps
End No Recourse to Public Funds
Improve the rights of those on an Overseas Domestic Worker visa Increase Child Benefit
Remove the 2-child cap for Child Tax credits and Universal Credit. Stop making parents on UC pay for childcare up-front, or completely scrap it and come up with something that works
Directly-fund nurseries – so all registered settings – including childminders – get a payment like schools do – to cover the actual costs of staff and overheads https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ma6DLOOc2ro3YdwVnIPYolUUdIv22A5XsXrMYHSXs6g/
Provide a large **conditional** funding injection to the whole early years sector, which increases local democratic control – with no bailouts of the multinational childcare chains that now dominate – unless they guarantee Real Living Wage, & no dividends or share buy-backs
