Looking Forward in 2021
Often, January is a time for reflection and making plans. Time for Nurseries consider the coming year, setting objectives and mapping out the spring and summer terms. However, things are much different this year, making it more of a challenge to look ahead. It is difficult to predict what might be happening next month, let alone the remainder of the year. This can make it challenging for nurseries to think ahead, in a time which is still incredibly uncertain. There is no way of knowing if COVID will impact further on the Early Years sector and how. Although the current circumstances means it will be difficult to plan, it’s still important to reflect on our provision and practice and use this to feed into the coming months.
