Summer holidays - how's that going to work?

There's so much discussion about schools, but what about care over the summer hols. 6-8 weeks of no school work (and presumably much more limited support for keyworkers too). Are holiday clubs going to run with social distancing measures in place? Will private providers be able to get insurance? I'm really worried about this. Kids are in the middle age bracket - I'm able to work (ish) with them at home as they have stuff to do during much of the day, but once school finishes for the summer it will be much much worse than now. I'm surprised others aren't talking about this. Does anyone know how this might work? Are holiday clubs going to operate? We normally use a mix of grandparents, holiday clubs (at least 4 weeks), and 2 weeks family holiday. Only the latter looks possible now.

Can we not just let our kids play with their friends? That's allowed isn't it?

Yes but it’s not a substitute for the social life at school. Tbh I’d let dd have friends in the house now but I know their parents won’t agree
