NHS resources for Early Years

• The NHS Health Education England Library and Knowledge Services website has a range of resources including videos, posters and stories for use with children
• The Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY) have produced a re-opening toolkit for early years settings. Whilst much of the advice is written with a nursery or childcare setting in mind, school-based early years practitioners may also find the advice and resources helpful in their school setting.
• There have been changes to the EYFS legislation that are temporary but in force throughout the coronavirus crisis. Full information is provided on the DfE website here, with a handy summary from the Early Years Alliance here.
• The Anna Freud Centre have some excellent advisory resources on their Early Years webpage, including:
  • 8 ways parents and carers can help children manage the transition back to nursery
  • How can Early Years workers help children manage the transition back to nursery?
