More than three and a half months after they closed their doors, childcare services across the country can re-open this morning.
But there'll be some changes to the way they operate. Children will now arrive at staggered drop off times and be divided into separate groups known as pods.
These pods won't be allowed to mix with each other or share toys and there's no requirement for social distancing within pods.
There'll be much more cleaning of rooms and equipment required and an end to some practices such as bringing soothers and blankets from home.
