The Hempsall's Business Change and COVID-19 Response Tool

The challenge of managing early years and childcare businesses

Managing an early years or childcare setting is a complex task. This Business Map uses tried-and-tested steps through a journey to support businesses to review themselves. It also sets out a process to identify opportunities and risks and turn them into planning. ​

COVID-19

No-one has ever managed early years and childcare businesses through a COVID-19 pandemic before. And so, the Business Map has been designed to assist with finding routes through change, COVID-19 response and new business planning.

Developed with the sector for the sector.
