  • From: Sharon Hughes
    From: Sharon Hughes <[email protected]> Sent: 24 March 2020 19:39 Subject: Emergency child care for children under school age Good evening, We have been asked to circulate this information We would be grateful if the following message and link could be circulated to your parents. Many thanks Powys Childcare Team We are working to support families with their childcare needs to ensure the continuation of frontline services during the Covid-19 outbreak, and to provide care for vulnerable children. We are hoping to ensure that a limited number of our Childcare Providers remain open to provide care for these groups of children who are not yet of school age from Friday 27th March onwards. Where at all possible, children should stay at home. This cannot be over-emphasized. If your work is critical to the Covid-19 response or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and your child cannot stay at home, then your childcare will be prioritised: - Health and social care - Education and childcare - Key public services - Local and national government - Food and other necessary goods - Transport - Utilities, communication and financial services. From Friday 27th March, we are hoping to have childcare for children not of school age at the following locations: - Ystradgynlais - Brecon - Crickhowell - Llandrindod Wells - Newbridge - Llyswen - Newtown - Welshpool - Llanfyllin - Llanidloes The situation is being continually reviewed and there could be changes to provision, based on patterns of demand. Whilst we hope access to childcare will be provided to enable key workers to work during this critical period, we do need to keep the number of children in educational, childcare and play settings to the smallest number possible.
