It was great to speak to The Independent to share findings from research I commissioned for the Early Education and Chimdcare Coalition. We are seeing a significant drop in the numbers of people becoming childminders whilst many are leaving the sector. The patterns have been there for some time but appear to be getting worse. It’s way past time that we have a national workforce strategy for early education and childcare to ensure that these skilled professionals are able to remain and thrive in these vital roles. #earlyeducation #childcare #workforce #childminders
One of our Directors Lucie Stephens spoke to The Independent this week to share research on the critical decline of childminders and the impact this will have on children and families https://lnkd.in/emyeu24r #earlyeducation #childcare #childminders
