Sick of governot line re nurseries staying open 'to support working families'. We do KNOW that we're staying open to support working families AND vulnerable children but attendance has dropped + income is down from paying families + the govt has this time around pulled the plug on funded children who do not attend. How can nurseries PAY BILLS/WAGES and why NO VACCINE to help 'KEEP' US OPEN???
Oh, so another sector saying they should have COVID vaccine priority. The list is getting longer and longer by the day.
Selfish attitude. Queue jumpers.
The risk imposed by open nurseries is the children mixing and spreading the virus, not all about the staff! So what? Have to vaccinate all the children early too?
Schools, all including nurseries should never be open.

Nurseries r being forced 2 open by the govt + some on shoe strings which r not long enough. If the nursery has any incidents of the virus + has 2 close 4 a period of self-isolation by staff etc then where will that leave families without nursery provision? I have always enjoyed rude health + am not intending 2 queue jump but would hate 2 think I am asymptomatic + thus spreading it unknowingly.
i'm not sure children can be vaccinated or not, just as i'm really not sure they can be tested or not, but anyway I am not against it at all. I would ask, though, whether my child is as important as the children who come to nursery, although I do think my child is a chip off the old block and just as healthy as her dear old mama, and she could be a super spreader too.
Personally, I think we should be prioritising staff who work in supermarkets as well as people who work in childcare. The former come into close proximity to God knows how many people on a daily basis with only a mask to protect them unless they're on the tills behind a screen. On a separate note, their contribution during this pandemic needs to be rewarded.
Just another self-interest group, zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Customs, police, lorry drivers, checkout staff, teachers, MPS, minsters.
Even Premiership footballers, all looking to queue jump.
Sad.

Better late than never . . .
The right do have a long standing hatred of educators/carers.
Kids = major spreaders.
Maybe our money should serve us rather than tory grandees.

How about vaccinating staff in special schools where all children are vulnerable and have the right to attend during lockdown?
Hear, hear: I agree completely re special schools. I do think anyone who works in education should be prioritised for the vaccine. However, schools are to open to children of key workers + vulnerable children (I think) but nurseries are to open to ALL children on their rolls, + schools have already had more support than nurseries, esp re PPE (I think.) Nursery workers just don't seem to matter.
I'm so tired of hearing about the risk to children (whether it's schools or EY) - children have never been at any real risk from Covid. The problem is that children spread diseases like nobody's business and Covid has not proven to be any different. Gov't keep trying to say otherwise but that's because they want people out at work paying their taxes - nothing to do with safety.
All early years and primary staff should be top of the list (only behind NHS staff). Getting children under the age of 11 to social distance and not touch each other and staff is nigh impossible.
I don't work in a school, but I have a few friends who do and I also have children... I know the children are at minor risk, but the staff are right in the firing line.

Thank you B. I have lots of experience + qualifications in this + other fields + tho I love (hard) working in early years right now I feel a mug to stick around at minimum wage being treated like we are by the govt. The vaccine question is not the beginning of our apparent invisibility during the pandemic + things have got worse for our sector even since this thread started.

Logically if young children can not be vaccinated yet due to lack of trials and testing, then they should be at home isolated until all adults are, and the virus marginalised by herd immunity.
but unfortunately the govt is forcing us to open - if you have the ear of the PM perhaps you could have a word with him - tho going by past performance he may just say stuff the lot of em they're out of a (funded) job and sayonara to many (probably predominantly female) working parents...?
Our school nursery is open to all children (regardless of whether parents are key workers) in line with government guidance so my child can attend.
However government is also saying don’t leave home unless you absolutely have to.
Just interested to know whether taking him would be regarded as an acceptable journey?

I work in EY + wish I had an answer for u but don't. The main worry is that EY children missing out will harm their development + futures but of course physical health is also paramount. If anyone works out an answer please let me know as my own child* is missing out on 'school as normal' (currently doing online learning) and I'm extremely concerned about the social ramifications of *this.

I'm sure there are lots of other groups who could, and probably will make a case for being at the front of the queue.
Supermarket staff, taxi drivers and anyone else who comes into contact with the public.
And then there is all the "me me me" brigade who will demand to be first.
The government have set out an order of priorities, let it run and stop anyone trying to make a case to queue jump.

Well said, I work in social care and my husband stamps passports so we can all make a case for jumping the cue, everyone needs to be patient
The govnot set the order 'on the hoof' + changed it (NHS staff were - quite rightly I believe - 2 b first in line) only shortly after making it known, so it has been, all along, done with little (informed) thinking. The nearest nursery 2 me closed this morning as some1 recently on their premises got a positive result. So the order of priorities endures + mayhem ensues. Yay?

We are running a petition on behalf of the childcare sector to help boost us up the ladder for receiving the vaccine.
Please find the link to our petition which we are hoping to pass on to the Oireachtas next week.
So far we have over 700 signatures. All of which are childhood workers and families.
If you could sign it would be much appreciated.

UK's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty told the BBC that nurseries were open "to allow people who need to go to work or need to do particular activities to do so".
"We all do know that children are at very,very low risk of this virus relative to other ages. The fact that nurseries are open,it's not a risk to the children."
Build-up Herd Immunity still his priority - what about the adults
