Where are all the Early Years Educators? | Famly

In our twenty-six minute documentary we want to shine our light on a huge issue the EY sector is facing currently and ask an important question: Where are all the Early Years Educators?

We take a look back across the history of Early Years education in the UK, the issues the sector is facing regarding recruitment and staff retention, hear from experts in the field and dig into ways the government and settings can help combat the problem.

We hear insights from:

Here at Famly we make better nursery management software. Working in close partnership with almost 1,500 childcare providers worldwide, we help streamline the tedious admin and paperwork that comes with running a busy childcare setting.

The last thing managers and staff need is software that is old-fashioned, difficult to understand, and slow. That's why we continually focus on building a system that is fast and easy-to-use, but still packed with all the features you need to save you time - and get back to what's most important - the children.
