    From the DFE although he definitely did not ‘confirm’ this as he didn’t mention childcare or early years ‘As confirmed by the Prime Minister this evening, we are asking education and childcare settings to prepare to open for more children from 1 June. We will publish further guidance setting out more information for early years, schools and colleges tomorrow.’
  2. AnonyMouse_11962
    Same here but the ‘work from home if you can’ message seems to have been diluted. Or blurred. Grim but true about insurance and also potential for being sued or being prosecuted due to Health and Safety at work breaches.
  3. AnonyMouse_11962
    Good points. Maybe they will publish an expanded ‘key worker plus extras’ list of who is now allowed and encouraged to work and then we will be expected to provide childcare for those children. Dare I mention PPE?? I haven’t looked in to getting any as I feel uncomfortable potentially taking supplies from front line health and care staff. Maybe I wouldn’t be able to get any anyway
  4. AnonyMouse_11962
    Maybe we would technically have the choice whether to open after 1st June but would funding continue if we chose not to??

    From DFE Facebook page ‘As confirmed by the Prime Minister this evening, we are asking education and childcare settings to prepare to open for more children from 1 June. We will publish further guidance setting out more information for early years, schools and colleges tomorrow.’
  6. AnonyMouse_11962
    Yes that’s true. It would be strange if the school reopened to reception and not nursery I think. *this*
  7. AnonyMouse_11962
    Maybe more detail will come out tomorrow I’m not sure if it’s an oversight 😬 I thought a general message was ‘get back to work’ and parents will need childcare for the pre schoolers in order to do that? Don’t know though
  8. AnonyMouse_11962
    Should we assume a provisional June 1st date for nurseries then? Along with Reception, Year 1 and Year 6?? What do people think?
  9. AnonyMouse_11962
    Can’t get the link to work unfortunately - will look on iPlayer

    I have no idea if my claim meets the guidance or not having read all this. Once the next claim goes in for May (unless we are forced to return before then eek) I don’t know whether to calculate it differently or not 🤔 I know! 😬
  11. AnonyMouse_11962
    Don’t know if you all saw these FAQs https://www.ndna.org.uk/NDNA/Knowledge_Hub/Coronavirus/Your_Coronavirus_questions_answered_early_years.aspx

    Accountant put my claim in but I haven’t seen what she put so I’ve no idea if it fits with any of the interpretations 😂 Obviously I gave her my figures but I haven’t seen the questions on the portal so I don’t know what she may have entered where. Yes, losing the will to a large extent...
  13. AnonyMouse_11962
    Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this.
  14. AnonyMouse_11962
    That’s great 😊 What percentage of your wage bill were you able to claim - was it roughly what you thought it would be?
  15. AnonyMouse_11962
    Exactly!
  16. AnonyMouse_11962
    I don’t care where the money comes from at all - I don’t pay for certain things from funding and others from private income; it’s all put together. I didn’t expect to make such a loss that’s all. I’m hoping to receive £600 in job retention scheme grant but will lose £2000 over the same time period in private fees. As I’m not charging parents while we are closed. And we can’t apply for the small business grant.
  17. AnonyMouse_11962
    Wow. Not good. But very difficult to know what to do for the best.
  18. AnonyMouse_11962
    It’s pretty dire isn’t it. I stupidly committed to 100% for April and May when I thought we’d be getting the full JRS and I also gave everyone pay rises rather than just the minimum wage people. Don’t feel I can go back on either but it won’t be possible to pay 100% for any longer than that. And the reserves I thought I’d have to plug the annual deficit in the Autumn Term will be gone.
  19. AnonyMouse_11962
    It’s crazy isn’t it The 80% is (I think) because that’s the maximum anyone in the country can claim - that’s the baseline kind of thing. And then we are only allowed to claim the relevant percentage of that. My staff have been fine about being unfurloughed - I told them to just disregard my furlough letter. But I’m paying them 100% whether furloughed (one person) or not (the others) so it doesn’t matter to them. Whether unfurloughing is ‘allowed’ I’ve no idea but I don’t think it will be a problem. Naive maybe!!
  20. AnonyMouse_11962
    That’s certainly what I’ve done - hope it’s right!
  21. AnonyMouse_11962
    Yes basically. Total wage bill - 80% of that then the relevant percentage from private to funded income applied to that amount. Then i picked someone whose wages were roughly that amount and chose them to furlough and claim the grant against their wages.
  22. AnonyMouse_11962
    😂😂😂😂 It’s hardly going to make up the amount lost though is it. *bangs head against wall*
  23. AnonyMouse_11962
    The trouble is we weren’t told this when we (in my case anyway) commited to paying all staff 100% of wages, gave everyone pay rises etc. If I’d know what I know now I would not have done that but I won’t go back on my word. Unlike the government 🙁
  24. AnonyMouse_11962
    Because we’ve all got sh*t loads of money to be paying back loans 😡
  25. AnonyMouse_11962
    And they would be taking the funding away from the child’s original setting then?
