The Covid cohort
In this issue we examine the impact of lockdowns on pandemic-born children’s development and offer some ways practitioner can help them. We tackle loneliness and in response launch a new Facebook group Early Years Huddle. We explore pedagogy and why approaches should be based around children, not just what looks good on social media. There are many benefits to having pets in domestic childcare settings, our Animal magic article ensure you are aware of the risks and stay safe.

Let’s go potty – Research shows we need to reframe our approach and se potty training as a process, not an event. Alina Lynden from ERIC explains.
