We are now collecting Early Years Attendance only once per week on a Wednesday.
It is vital that all settings that are open complete this data return weekly as we need to submit this information to the Department for Education.
Thank you for your continued assistance with this piece of work.

Anyone displaying symptoms of coronavirus (a temperature, new continuous cough and/or a loss of taste or smell) must now self-isolate for 10 days, rather than seven.
The change brings the UK in line with World Health Organization guidance, and reflects scientific evidence which suggests that people with coronavirus have "a low but real possibility of infectiousness" seven to nine days after falling ill.
Those living with someone displaying coronavirus symptoms are still required to self-isolate for 14 days. More information is available on the NHS website.
The DfE has made an amendment to The Childcare (Exemptions from Registration) Order 2008 to ‘clarify’ when activity-based provision must register on the Early Years Register. Activity-based provision must register on the Early Years Register where a child under the age of 5 attends the provision, including the activity and any time spent in the provision that is incidental to the activity, for more than four hours in any one day. For more information please see the following guidance ( “When you do not have to register” / “Tutoring, coaching and clubs”). This amendment will come into effect on 1 October 2020 to allow for any providers who must be registered on the Early Years Register to take steps to register with Ofsted on its Early Years Register or adjust the way they operate if they wish to remain exempt from compulsory registration.
