Government: Getting EYFS and Y1 children back into school is the priority. EYFS & Y1 Children: x.com/BeepingBobby/s…

Ruth Swailes They haven't mentioned Nursery classes or Maintained Nursery schools at all in this briefing. Only a brief mention of childcare at the beginning. Nursery schools and classes are not childcare!!

Absolutely- this cannot be right Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP Vicky Ford Can you ensure that our Maintained Nursery schools are given the financial support they need during this crisis and beyond

Department for Education does this include Maintained Nursery Schools?

I know lots of you a worried about returning to school. As a head teacher I feel a huge responsibility. Please rest assured that heads genuinely only want the best for the children in their care. They are our reason for being. Our heartbeat.

We're yet to know Boris Johnson’s final decision about the possible reopening of schools on June 1. But we want you to know that our school is ready whatever decision is made & we'll continue to care for children & remain open. A school can't 'reopen’ when it never closed, Boris.

Think there are questions to answer Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP theguardian.com/education/2020…

Amid all the politics of #lockdown, a worrying message from a headteacher last night - echoes what I’ve heard from a number of teachers/headteachers in the last week. They have allowed me to post their message.

What the actual..... MORE guidance... On a Sunday... of a bank holiday ... at the start of half term...when EVERYONE has already made their plan West Berkshire Council NAHT Tes magazine Laura Farris #eyfs #schools #guidance #groupsof8

The Reception Baseline Assessment pilot last year caused many 4 year olds anxiety, distress and a sense of failure. I’ve just asked Gavin Williamson if he will scrap the RBA. He said No. Seems he doesn’t care about their mental health & wellbeing.

Department for Education just to say please listen to all EY practitioners, Headteachers and consultants - it’s completely wrong to be doing any form of baseline on 48 month old children - you are very cruel to be suggesting it More Than A Score @Keep_EYs_Unique

This is an outrage & it’s time to say NO to help difficult transitions RBA should be scrapped this year. Please NAHT join with More Than A Score defend the rights of children TACTYC @Keep_EYs_Unique CREC National Education Union

"Your child will experience a mild illness". This is what I was told when school sent my child home following a case of covid in her class. My child didn't experience a thing, but I, her mother, ended up fighting for my life. Just admit schools aren't safe Department for Education .
