The childminders will finally be able to welcome children for the next three weeks.
The question was decided this Friday after a boondoggle Thursday evening.
Matignon first announced that the little ones could not be looked after by childminders in order to be "consistent with the nurseries", closed during this period.
Before back-pedaling and asserting that the question was not quite decided yet.
This Friday, after reflection by the executive, it is therefore the yes that wins: childminders, unlike nurseries, will be able to continue to receive children.
Lots of contamination among childminders
Among the modalities to be defined, was the file of children of "priority audiences", such as caregivers, whose list has been established since Friday (you can find it by clicking on this link).
280,000 childminders in France welcome between one and four children.
Home guards will "also not be affected" by the restrictions, according to Matignon.
During the first confinement to fight against the Covid-19 epidemic in March, the State had relaxed the standards, allowing childminders to accommodate six children simultaneously instead of four and thus "gradually support the resumption of activity ".
