I am disappointed as I got an email from my DW yesterday saying that I did not get the grant I had applied for for my outdoor provision. Instead she said she had been advised that I would have more success asking for it for my indoor provision.
That made me angry because my indoor provision is good and my outdoor not good. Now Ofsted say that the outdoor provision should reflect the indoor provision and yet they wont give me a grant for the outdoor area.

I know I am not entitled to a grant and should be happy that there is atleast something I can apply for - I just think it is ridiculous that they are dictating where it is spent as long as it benefits the learning outcomes for mindees.

I was told the same. I wanted artificial grass so the children were able to play out side more as I have a large play house and more.
Was told.....listen to this because I was going to move the natural materials that the children need. I couldn't have it. Even though I have a large patch of grass where the children have planted veg/ flowers etc. ....so they would of still had * The natural materials * there.
I was disappointed aswell. :angry:

It's so unfair some get funding and others don't - we don't get anything here at all - not even help with setting up it's all out of our own pockets!

Not a penny here either, very unfair that some get and others don't. Should be everybody or nobody.....but then such is life!
