hi all need some help, whats new!! we have a parent whose child comes to preschool as well as 2 other settings, the child is now 3 and entitled to funding, but the problem is the parent wants to use the funding at the other settings and pay us as before this means we lose out as our sessions are cheaper than the funding! i need to add something to our fees and funding policy but cant think how to word it a bit brain dead! i only need a sentence xxxxx

We have been invited to apply for the pathfinder project and have to make the decision to quite quickly. I understand the 15 hours entitlement etc and have read many posts regarding this, however most are from sessional settings, so the implications people are experiencing probably wouldn't affect me, such as opening hours etc. I would love to hear from anyone from a full day care setting who is on this project at the moment, and any pros and cons. Many Thanks

Everything going well until Friday last. I own 2 nurseries in two different boroughs, both nurseries(private)doing really well . Numbers have picked up very well over last few months. One LEA paid the balance in February of the grant but other ALWAYS late. The Head of Early Years leaves the authority on Thursday and I receive a call from another private provider asking if I have received the funding due. The alarm bells started when he said there was going to be a shortfall in the amount allocated to the nurseries due to the increase in numbers of children going to private sector. The amount we have received is £200 PER CHILD short. Is anyone else having problems? We ar…

Hi Calling all those soap box people out there! Thats most of us! Ive been asked by a local paper if I could say a few words on how the NEG funding has a shortfall in covering providers fees.

Hi everyone, We have been told that the govenors have some money left over that needs to be spent so all teachers are fighting over it and we need to give our ideas the first day back of next term. I want to ask for new outside resources e.g. bikes, scooters etc. Does anyone know where I can get the most for my money for these kind of things? They retail at about £100 each and I think it might be a bit too much to ask for unless I can find an alternative! We are not allowed to know how much they have left over, it's just pot luck. Or does anyone have anything in there outside area that is cheap and the children love? Thanks Rachel xx

once funding has been allocated to a setting for a term can it be transferred to another setting or would you give the parent back the funding in a lump sum so she can use it in the new setting or can you do anything else?
