The Council believes this increase is affordable through a combination of increased take up of the 30 Hours alongside a reduction to the amount the Council is allowed to retain to fund its statutory duties. We are committed to ensuring that the maximum amount of funding the Council receives for Early Years is passed onto providers and we …

Today we opened and the pipes were frozen so we had no water - we maintained supplies from the neighbouring hall and kept the toilets filled and used anti bac for hand washing - I brought all the washing up home from lunches. I informed parents and bless them they brought us water and biscuits!! But on checking when I got home I don't think I should have stayed open and don't know what to do tomorrow - there is now way the pipes are going to defrost as we are still at -4 and due to get the bad snow tonight. I don't like to close but equally don't want to get into bother with Ofsted if we should have closed.

A plea for help from you lovely creative forum people. It's my dad's birthday on New Year's day and he is notoriously difficult to get presents for. So, this year I have gone for an old favourite - a selection of beers/ales (I don't drink so have no idea whether I'm using the right name! ) with a variety of interesting names. As it will be pretty obvious what they are and also because he's a lover of puzzles of all kinds I thought I'd attach a tag to each wrapped bottle with a clue to what's inside and the instruction that he can only open it if he can solve the clue.
