Context
Coronavirus has caused disruption in Staffordshire, raising concerns about wraparound childcare availability.
In light of the recent outbreak of coronavirus in Staffordshire, what extra provision is the Government providing for wraparound childcare while this epidemic continues?
Coronavirus is the top priority, and we must follow medical and scientific advice. Public Health England continues to advise schools and settings to remain open unless otherwise advised. We are aware of concerns from early years providers about potential closures and are working to minimise the impact. This is a top priority. In the meantime, there is a dedicated helpline for schools and their parents.
