Pitiful Government support is not enough to keep nurseries safe for young children and staff during lockdown, according to a pre-school manager near Salisbury. Ruth Owen, manager of Alderbury Pre-school, has criticised the Government s disregard for the sector, calling on ministers to provide Covid-19 tests and PPE. Alderbury Pre-school, like other nurseries and childminders in the country, has remained open to care for toddlers aged between 12 months and 4 years old. It will remain open to support parents and families, even after Boris Johnson announced a new national shutdown on Monday (January 4), which closed schools. However, staff are anxious about the current situation and, unlike teachers in secondary schools, have no access to PPE or rapid Covid tests, Mrs Owen said.
