This factsheet outlines best practice regarding temporary or emergency closure for all childcare and play providers, including group settings or childminders.
Developing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) may help you think about, and plan for the actions required, during or immediately following an emergency or incident
that threatens your normal business and bring all the information together in one place.
Having a BCP in place for both temporary and emergency closures ensures that everyone can work together efficiently. This helps to ensure the safety of children,
their families, staff, volunteers and visitors, as well as support re-opening and the ongoing sustainability of the setting and well-being of all those involved.
