The government has said it wants to get all children back into education as soon as the scientific advice allows. The Prime Minister believes it is the best place for children to learn, and it's also good for their mental wellbeing to have social interactions with other kids, carers and teachers.
The plan at the moment is that from this week, early years, school and further education settings may be able to welcome back more children.
And with that in mind, the government has issued a strict six point plan to follow for schools, colleges and childcare settings to prevent the spread of coronavirus when the time comes for them to reopen their doors.
