Dear Parents

 

Childcare policy

As you have all probably seen in the news the Government have a new publication “More Great Childcare”, the proposals in this publication are currently open for consultation.

Free Early Education For Two Year olds (FEET)

We are now able to offer funding for some two year olds alongside funding for our three year olds(EYFE).

Unlike the EYFE, FEET is not universally available to all families yet but it is worth checking to see if you qualify.

The qualifying criteria will continue to expand so I will keep you updated so if you do not qualify now you may be able to at a later stage. If you do qualify please let me know and we can start applying for your FEET funding.

To see if you qualify go to:


 

Non Attendance

If your child is not attending the nursery on the day they are expected to please can you call us or email to let us know. We need to ensure we have accurate registers to comply with OFSTED  regulations. Many Thanks.
