"Rather than putting all their energy into attracting new childminders ... ministers would do well to prioritise retaining the thousands of existing professionals who ... are leaving in their droves."

Worried to read recently the Centre for Policy Studies suggestion about potentially scrapping EYFS for childminders - this would be an awful idea for children, parents, and the professional early years educators. Article here: https://t.co/zx5477z298

It is with sadness that we announce the closure of Ceeda with effect from 1 May 2022. It has been our great privilege to work with the early years sector over the last 2 decades. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported and taken part in our research.

This is a great deep dive into everything we're doing at tiney - including chats with two of our superstar childminders (and @Wigdortz of course).

Just caught up with the very informed Neil Leitch @EYAlliance He has spoken to @willquince who clarified its £170m for one year but a similar amount for the next 2 years. Will give roughly 20p on the hourly rate. Not the 20m shortfall but a small contribution. @TimesRadio

[Will Quince @willquince]

This afternoon I met with @EYalliance @NDNAtalk @PACEYchildcare where I was delighted to confirm that we are investing additional funding for the early years entitlements worth £160m in 2022-23, £180m in 2023-24 and £170m in 2024-25.

Interesting comments from Dame Alison Wolf about different purposes of childcare and Ece and how we shape the offer.@NuffieldFound

[Lisa Holmes @LisaLisaaholmes]

I was interested to see this idea resurface recently. Please share the leyf survey!

[Dr June O'Sullivan OBE @JuneOSullivan]

We want to know what parents would think about increasing ratio of children to adults. Please share widely and retweet
thanks. We will disseminate our findings widely. https://t.co/lRvTlDIvJv

At nearly 400ft, the new SpaceX rocket will eventually be taller than the Saturn V that carried Nasa’s Apollo missions to the moon. For Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder, it is meant to play a key role in one day establishing a human colony on Mars https://t.co/zTbtdUzRJD

"If this was happening in any other part of the educational sector, there would be an outcry – so why is it any different for childminders?"

Amazing session tonight, I'm feeling reflective and inspired #AntiRacistEE @tineyco @LauraHAllain

[tiney @tineyco]

Our guide to becoming an inclusive anti-racist early educator with @LauraHAllain has only been out a few hours and we've been blown away by the reaction. Want to say thanks too to @lizpemtbnm and @eunice_lumsden for their part in it. https://t.co/xNlEXYKMVa

[tiney @tineyco]

We've been blown away by all the amazing feedback on our guide with @LauraHAllain to being an inclusive, anti-racist early years educator. Please keep spreading the word!

Are you a dad who has loved spending time with his young children during #lockdown? Here's an opportunity for men to develop a new career as self-employed childminders with @tineyco. Please share!

[Early Years Alliance @EYAlliance]

NEW - Ofsted has said that it will pause assurance inspections to early years settings until 8 March "at the earliest".

[Beatrice Merrick @b_merrick]

Latest figures from @educationgovuk estimate 566,000 children EY settings on 14 Jan – c.38% of usual term-time attendance or 54% of the usual daily level in spring term. Based on this, funding on 21 Jan enrolments at census will result in devastating loss of income @vickyford
