Indeed. She is the manager - not the owner - so has no choice. Some situations at the moment make me feel the world is ending. But in 3 months time it will look very different. I keep telling myself that.

You need to read the contracts. Some nurseries will expect payment for private places during closures, others won't.

The government seems to be saying government-funded places will still get paid to the nurseries, they haven't clarified on private places. If they they cover them, much easier for the parents but who knows.

Private nursery’s are remaining open - just advised to close

I do not think that is true, is it?

I don't think she does.
She definitely doesn't have to sack them tomorrow before the government expand on what measures are in place. That is a very bad decision.

She could put everyone on furlough while waiting a week. School places are funded termly too so she can quite reasonably count on income until Easter.

Rushing to sack everyone is just another panic.
