Leaders at Kent County Council (KCC) have written to the government calling for an urgent review of funding guidance for Early Years settings during lockdown.
It comes as nurseries are due to hold their annual headcount which determines how much funding they will receive the following year based on the number of children in their care.
David Whitehead, from Potential in Everyone Academy Trust speaks on the issue
It is set to happen on January 18, but with so many children isolating or learning from home, there are fears establishments will be penalised for having lower numbers which could force them into closure.
