I am aware that LAs have different conditions and different expectation of cms when it comes to drawing funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds
I am also aware that the 'only' condition the DfE has stipulated is that CMs should be either Good or Outstanding ...BUT...
some LAs accept Requires Improvement grades ....as long as the cms show they are working towards improvement
What I would like to find out is if any LA also stipulates that CMs cannot do funding 'solely for 2 year olds'
I have contacted the DfE on this and also the organisation which has been commissioned by the DfE to ensure LAs are preparing for the 2 year olds scheme....today I have to speak to them
I have also attended several training sessions to be informed on this scheme but have never come across a mention that it is not possible to just draw funding for 2 year olds
If you have encountered this condition I would be interested to hear what the conditions are for you ...no need to mention your LA or names
Thank you
