The practicalities of reopening your childcare business

The practicalities of reopening your childcare business

The results from our recent survey showed that only 13% of the 634 respondents are confident to safely open their childcare setting on June 1st.

We hosted a webinar tomorrow on the practicalities of reopening your childcare business which had over 500 registrants.

We discussed the findings from the survey – drawing back the curtain on some of the challenges we are facing for reopening and the concerns around this for childcare providers.

Watch here as the panel share their knowledge and expertise on:

  • Putting the wellbeing of children and staff first
  • Company culture – practising and reinforcing positivity, kindness and compassion throughout the ‘Coronacoaster’
  • ‘Physical distancing’ over social distancing – Using the risk V benefit analysis
  • Risk assessment and planning for the unknown
  • COVID pedagogy
