Coronavirus, early years and childcare
Early education and childcare during coronavirus
For child safety, early education and childcare providers follow the guidance issued by the Department for Education. Early education and childcare settings are now open to everyone.
Children and family centres open
All 12 Children and family centres in Tower Hamlets will remain open with the easing of lockdown. Health and safety remains our top priority - for staff, families and the community. We have adapted our services to be ‘Covid-secure’ and we continue to offer:
- Health appointments
- Early learning for two-year-olds
- Face-to-face support for vulnerable, and newly vulnerable, parents
- Collection of vitamins
Some small group sessions will be operating, please check our timetable for details.
We follow the latest government guidelines, which means our timetables and services are subject to change.
Please phone your local children and family centres before you visit to make an appointment and find out the latest information.
Training sessions
We continue to provide blended learning for our first aid and safeguarding courses and adult education courses.
Thank you
We would like to express our gratitude to all early education and childcare settings and childminders who have continued throughout Covid to offer Tower Hamlets children a wonderful, safe, caring and stimulating time. Thank you!
