Nursery World - Survey to look at impact of furlough on childcare providers

The National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) and the Education Policy Institute (EPI) are launching the second survey in their year-long research project, looking at the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the early years workforce.
