Parents are likely to need additional reassurance that childcare settings remain open, particularly in light of the national restrictions.
As you have a detailed knowledge of your own local area and childcare market, you may already have developed your own strategies for doing this. However, to help, you also have access to a range of communications tools to help promote government childcare entitlements for children aged 2 – 4 as well as Tax-Free Childcare.
We have produced a pack to help you communicate with working parents about the available offers and support that has been put in place. In this pack, you’ll find a range of materials including:
- Draft emails to share with parents or providers
- An online flyer to share via email or social media channels with parents, promoting available support in response to the pandemic.
- Social media suggestions; which are available to download for you to share (below) and guidance on using the childcare choices logo. a. Social media asset 1
