Funded children advice

[primrosecottage]

What is the consensus on what hours you offer the funded entitlement? e.g 3hrs x5 or 5hrs x 3 per week. Thanks in advance, I would like to devise my own 'set' hours.

I just allow parents to take it when they need it for work commitments.

I offer funded sessions from 9.30am-12.30pm, Mon-Thur (I don't work Fridays).

If a child only comes to me for 2 days a week they only get 6 hours funding.

I only offer funded sessions during school hours ( I may decide to offer extra funded hours out of school hours but I don't offer it per se )

I find that out of school hours I'm busy with everyone and tea etc!.
