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.
