Early childhood services say they expect many centres will stay closed next week, even though they'll be allowed to be open under Alert Level 3.

But the industry says it wants to see more evidence that reopening will be safe.
Chief executive of the Early Childhood Council, Peter Reynolds, speaks to Susie Ferguson.
