Open nurseries and/or childminders
Look at nurseries and childminders independantly from schools in making a decision about when to reopen.
Why the contribution is important
Research has showsn that under 4s cannot transmit the virus to others. Additionally, under 4s are the children who demand the most input from parents in terms of childcare. Also, most nurseries and childminders are open during the holidays so a reopening date of August is not relevant to those settings.
The Scottish Government argues that Early Years education is crucial to the development of children. However, whilst schools may be providing work for children to do, this is not the case for nurseries. At this age social contact and play with others is key for children and they are all missing out.
Nurseries and childminders need to be considered independantly and reopened as soon as possible.
