So here we are...Sept 1st 2014
new EYFS...well we have had plenty of notice on that one...so we are well prepared until DO arrives and says it's not good enough and needs tweaking to her targets?
several updated Ofsted documents...all policies and paperwork in place and updated?
11 days notice on those but I know we will have tried our best to highlight and scribble on the docs...thanks Ofsted for giving us so much notice
Another 130,000 2 year olds have joined the scheme and LAs are still scratching for places
Funding remains as low as ever and each LAs able to have their own set of rules and conditions...the bonus is we can look forward to an extra 53p via the Pupil Premium in 2015
We have had a change of ministers at the DfE but not in style
Training is now available at a cost to our already strained budgets...conferences are now beyond the reach of many CMs
Schools are ready for the free lunches...or not! I read one school will be offering pub sandwiches because their kitchen is not updated yet
Schools have liaised with cms on wraparound care so we can work together on this?
The cost of childcare is still the hot topic but only seen from the parents' angle not the providers who hardly get surveyed or consulted
Agencies...now up and running despite the DfE giving 2 days' notice to those who wish to set one up and those who wish to join...anyone heard of any set up yet?
I dread to be in the shoes of anyone who had a plan on their agency and then find it does not fit the DfE criteria
Officially CMs can now call themselves Independent!
has anything changed for you or is it 'business as usual'?
