Has anything been said about informal childcare bubbles?

[DebbieFiderer]

I didn't hear Boris mention them but not sure if any of the news sources has reported anything?

Before he spoke the BBC lady said they would still be allowed. But I don't know how accurate that is.

Phew, thanks.

Robert Peston briefed earlier the they were continuing - thank god!

He said no mixing households unless for childcare (and probably other care/support)

Ah thanks I must have missed him saying that bit. That was the hardest bit of the last lockdown for me (DH and I are both keyworker) so as long as my parents can keep having the kids after school I can cope with the rest (I'm aware we are very fortunate and I really feel for all those whose incomes will be affected)

i hope they update the FAQs to include this!
