High Commission for Human Rights recognises play as a right of every child, but this birth-right is being challenged by the coronavirus crisis as access to play is limited.

Therefore, the project aims to provide 12 weeks early years support to children 0 – 5 from BAME backgrounds. This will ensure young children continue to enjoy the right to play.

COVID-19 Early Years Support includes a virtual nursery and a learning resources scheme that will stimulate learning through play at home. This will enable children to develop communication and motor skills, problem-solving abilities that enhances school readiness.

The virtual nursery delivers arts and crafts, physical activities, and cookery sessions to increase children’s learning. Parents and careers will be given a specific log in detail to access the virtual nursery three times a week. The learning resource scheme supports creative learning at home by supplying arts and crafts and play equipment to hard-pressed families who cannot afford and those self-isolating.
