Nick Clegg is to make announcement tomorrow

[Penny1959]

I have spoken to one of my contacts tonight - and it has been confirmed that Nick Clegg will be be making an annoucement tomorrow about 2 year olds and funding.

My contact - who happens to be meeting with NC tomorrow says ' As far as I know it will be about the role out of the two year funding and the extended hours - so can be taken over 2 days if want to (instead of min now of 3 days) Also that can have a max of 10 hours in one day - that can be available between 7am - 7pm, that childminders will be playing a major role'

HOWEVER

My contact also said - after all the information / rumours over the last couple of weeks - not at all sure of context will be given or of fine detail - that nothing would be a surprise

Advice to us - Listen carefully - as may be in the fine detail!

That sounds very interesting, especially the bit about childminders having a big role, fingers crossed till tomorrow.

hmmm, does that mean though that only accredited CM's who can already do the 3yr funding will be "playing a big role" I wonder.

I don't know AliceK - but in my area all cms can become accredited if they want to - and if have a level 3 and a good or outstanding from Ofsted.

Maybe he will mention that LA's need to make it easier to provide the FE

will be waiting with baited breath

I have been delivering the 2yr old funding for nearly 5 years now and had several children go through my hands... this scheme is SO worthwhile

Probably passed it to Nick when Liz mentioned it might not go down as well as they'd hoped, much better to shoot the messenger and all that :D
