  1. Childcare and Early Education APPG

    This forum will help you keep up to date regarding the work of the Childcare and Early Education APPG of which we are sponsors. The Early Years Alliance, the National Day Nurseries Association, CACHE, Tops Day Nurseries, Dingley's Promise and the Montessori Group are also sponsors, committed to making sure the voice of early years is heard in Parliament.

    The APPG for Childcare and Early Education was constituted in September 2017 as a timely response to a growing number of issues facing the sector, including the Government’s 30-hour ‘free’ childcare policy, business rates, and VAT. This cross-party group provides a forum to constructively examine and debate the role that policy makers can play to support childcare and early education providers, and to help ensure that every child gets the best start in life.

    I was at NDNA conference last week - I have written an article reviewing the talks I went to in the 'Leadership stream'. I have included some ideas about things I am going to do at my setting. I'd be pleased to hear any thoughts from you if you were there ... what did you learn?! You can read my article here.

    Disqualification by association

    We are being asked to contribute to a consultation regarding a change to the rules about disqualification by association. I thought it might be useful to have a thread to discuss queries and questions and to share experiences about how this affects providers in 'the real world'. You can access the consultation here. It is a topic that has come up previously - you might find some of the discussions in these threads from previous years useful. If there have been cautions in the household of a member of staff Staff suitability and disqualification factsheet Concerns about a new member of staff's family

    Reception Baseline Comparability Study

    See here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reception-baseline-comparability-study and here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/reception-baseline-comparability-study-published I wonder what will happen... I wonder how many schools will still do it if it's not going to be used. I wonder if this means a standard 'test' to be done at the start of reception? Also, whether there are implications for the EYFSP reporting ending this year?

    What I want to see in a Statutory Framework

    by AnonyMouse_22029

    • 1.5k views

    I thought that in the very near future there will be a new statutory framework. Well it might not be a framework anymore it may just be statutory. so what do you want to see in it? How would you structure it? Lets get creative and then see what happens. I liked the principles and would like to keep those. I would happily keep the stuff about Ratio and Qualifications. Ratio I would like uniformed so 1:8 across all settings and not linked to higher qualifications. I would like to see recognition of qualifications and EYP/EYT for leadership and for those working with children. Importantly play is what children do and is how we assess progress. …
