You reckon Reception to go back in June too?

[gina8127]

i know there is no answer for this but anyone has good guess if reception and pre schools also go back in early June??

Me and my husband both wfh and it's not easy but at the same time I don't want my 5 years old and 3 years old to go back to school and nursery in June.

I see news about year 6 is returning the first week and phased return for other primary year groups.

Do you reckon nurseries and very young year groups will also go back?

I'm a preschool manager, my school have given me expectations of what I need to put in place (all of which are impossible with 2 and 3 year olds) so I just don't know at the minute.

[StSaulOfSnacks]

No.

Bluntness so many people in your world work from 9am- 2.30pm

Don’t be ridiculous. Did you miss the part about paid child care in my posts?

The point is, working people with primary or below kids need schools and or paid child care to go back to work.

Schools/paid child care needs to open at the same time as companies. There is no way round it.

And agree with the posters saying the ideal solution is they open for parents who need them, and optional for parents who don’t. Or not open for parents who don’t.

But they need to open for these people, because companies are opening. They are opening now. Most other than hospitality and airlines will be open in the next couple of weeks.

People will loose their jobs if they Can’t come to work because they habe young kids at home and no one to care for them. And they will loose their jobs in their millions.

The government needs to make paid child care or schools available at the same time as companies reopen, for those who need it.

I can’t see the nursery my son goes to (private) staying closed for long. At the end of the day nurseries wasn’t like the schools were it was compulsory to close but advisory. I guess they’ll try to reopen ASAP to get people back (as they’re not getting so much as expected for furloughed employees ) and it’ll be compulsory to pay for it you take your kids in or not.

If it’s a school nursery maybe this ones stay closed for longer ? As they’re funded by the government. But private ones unless they open soon they’ll many struggle

Bluntness - ive no doubt women will be screwed over!

But, i am also surprised that 1/3 of the workforce needs schools open to work and are also not key workers. So many women work in care work, teaching and nursing alone! Add in wholesale and retail it nearly 50% of the female work force. If the government just encourages children of key workers that it is now safe to go to school thats half the problem sorted (current situation is stay home if you can, theres a place if you absolutely must but please stay home) Thats before you factor in the key worker dads!

I think that there will be a great deal of pressure on grandparents to start or resume childcare too.

[Itisasecret]

Who said anyone is going back in June? The press which Raab said yesterday have made lots of things up? Wales who have announced it is not happening? This thread is why the government message isn’t getting out. People treat the press as fact.

I would guess, and that is all any of this is Is that lockdown will be lessened so that children can be looked after within the community, aunts, uncles, young and healthy grandparents or friends. This would cause the mixing of households (widening of social bubbles) but not at the same rate as it would if schools and nurseries reopened.

And what if you don't have anybody to help? We just lose our jobs? If they want businesses to start getting back to the new normal then childcare setting will have to open. I work in HE but I am not a keyworker.

Who said anyone is going back in June?
The furlough scheme is due to end at the end of June. Companies will need to recommence trading or make plans for redundancies at the start of June.

[SmileEachDay]

What “leaked document” Dahlia?

[cabbageking]

Depends on the situation and the school.
I can't see Year 6 being back at the start of June.

We will have a phased return with older children first whenever they start back. Classes divided and adding more children if and when we can iron out problems

We are very unlikely to take KS1 and Reception children back before September unless the situation changes drastically.

Another setting may have a different back up plan.

Wales have said 100% no to schools opening in June, their system is closely linked to England so expect that here.

[FourTeaFallOut]

Schools and any form of child care need to reopen at the exact same time as companies, or a fuck ton of people are about to loose their jobs.

I suppose they'll just lose their jobs then bluntness - the same you you'd have the children in shielded families lose their school places if they can't keep pace with the healthy, right?

[HostaFireAndIce]

I thought Wales said 100% no to the 1st of June, not June, or did they elaborate today?

[Itisasecret]

Yes in the press questions. School will or open in June.

[HostaFireAndIce]

Ah, thank you. The Wales announcement seems to have been totally swallowed here by a million stories about VE day...

[CaryStoppins]

@EasterIssland it was compulsory for childcare providers to close just like schools - it wasn't advisory.

If nurseries are saying they have reason to believe they may be able to reopen in June, it's because they have read the speculation in the Daily Mail just like everyone else

[pooiepooie25]

I am a teacher. I spoke to my Head last night and asked her if she was privy to any further information. She knows nothing. This is a huge school in London. If she doesn't know, then neither does anyone else. It's all speculation.

[2beautifulbabs]

I don't think any school will be back
Be luck if it's September that they all go back and even then what will it by like will it be in for September until mid December and then off again Jan Feb and March and back again April will they have massive gaps perhaps in the school months instead of half terms summer holidays who knows it's all a guessing game
