The Early Childhood Education and Care COVID-19 Impact Study

This survey was designed to address the gap in knowledge around the impact that the COVID-19 global pandemic has had on Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) policy, practice and provision across the UK. The survey explores the extent to which changes have been made in early years education and care settings and the perceptions of these changes among practitioners. The survey asked for perceptions about the impact of COVID-19 on staff, the children in their care (aged 0-8) and on their setting as a whole.
