Engagement work: Non-maintained sector update – spring 2021

This page was updated on 19/08/2021

This report summarises the findings from engagement phone calls made to 267 non-maintained settings between the end of September 2020 and mid-February 2021. It is based on the information discussed during phone calls with setting leaders. During the autumn term, we only contacted settings in local authorities that fund early education that term. From January 2021, we have contacted settings in all local authorities that offer early education in non-maintained settings. The focus for each discussion was the wellbeing of children and staff and how settings supported learning and re-established provision following lockdown. Proportions relate to the sample of settings with which we have had contact.
