Greenwich Council have written to Gavin Williamson over early years provision.
Greenwich Council leaders have written to the Education Secretary demanding clarity over how early years settings should operate in lockdown, and have advised nurseries to "revisit their risk assessments with consideration for the new variant."
The Labour council have joined others "urgently" calling for a support package for workers and providers, and "stand ready with other London leaders to help address these vital issues."
Secondary and primary schools were closed to all but key workers and the vulnerable when Boris Johnson announced the third national lockdown on Monday, January 4, but early years settings have been advised to remain open to all children.
