Exclusive: How academies dominate the school based nurseries scheme - analysis by Public Childcare Now campaigners - read all about it at Education Uncovered! Over 200 of the schools awarded funding are academies.
SEND Crisis Tower Hamlets retweeted
Louise O’Hare and Jo Henley, of the Public Childcare Now campaign, who carried out the analysis of DfE data, have multiple concerns about the government’s moves in the pre-school phase.

These include academies not being fully integrated with local authority services, the “schoolification” of early years, low income families missing out and, with this scheme only funding refurbishment rather than staff overheads, cost pressures in schools limiting provision.

Analysis of successful bids for school-based nursery scheme shows schools in multi-academy trusts disproportionately represented,with maintained nursery schools not allowed to apply.

Spoiler alert - turns out the Government really isn’t investing in public nurseries!

What do SENCos feel is the most important thing to be #schoolready ? What is missing from our current system of early years support to ensure this?
Or let’s turn it around - What do our schools need in order to be ready to ensure support and inclusivity for ALL children?
SEND Crisis Tower Hamlets retweeted
What is the purpose of this new definition? …It has been developed by nursery chains and the academy lobby…Is it to help academies have a tick list of which children with different learning needs to exclude? A marketing tool for the early years industry to scare parents with?
It has been great to see experts across the #EarlyYears sector coming together to work on a single, shared definition of what being #ReadyForSchool means.
Great information & great support resources – a demonstration that we are stronger together!

So many promises were made by @carowoodley @mayorofhackney @hackneycouncil the last time we campaigned against closures in 2021. EMPTY PROMISES. They underestimated us and the strength of public opposition last time and it seems they are doing it again.

‘The corporate takeover of our childcare system means shareholder profits are prioritised over staff wages & much-needed investment in early years provision’.
Excellent analysis from Dr Louise O’Hare of @postpandemicch1, on the case for public ownership of our childcare system👇🏾

Budget news - confirmed that Ratios to be increased. This is the worst news for accessibility — childcare places will be less inclusive for disabled children. It doesn’t matter that it’s ‘optional’ @SendTower @TowerHamletsMum @EastEndKids
SEND Crisis Tower Hamlets retweeted
Our submission to @CommonsEd described how council-run nurseries, have provided affordable high quality childcare and education, and crucial SEN support. If only #Budget2023 had considered investing in quality public Early Years infrastructure, accessible to ALL children.
In Jan, we submitted evidence to the @CommonsEd Inquiry on Early years it's just been published… sadly it seems @Jeremy_Hunt has ignored all testimony from disabled rights groups, workers & parents b4 coming up with his childcare plans anyway. committees.parliament.uk/wri…
