I live in leics and offer funding to 3/4 yr olds. I had to match a criteria to be able to receive the funding, had to have an inspection from the early years team (two people inspected, it was worse than ofsted..) I had to have a good from ofsted, level 3 in childcare and they gave me a few things that they would like to see, so more work on my behalf. I had to do an improvement plan for the year, a business plan to show how sustainable I was and I had to rate myself on a scale. If I didn't score a 1 or 2 In each area i had to say what I was going to do to reach a 1.
Well, I've had a few questions recently about funding etc and have contacted the lady who came to visit numerous times, via email, she's either taken about 5 days to respond or on two occasions not even responded at all. I've rang in and she's still not rang back.
I find it difficult to phone during working hours as I have 4 under 5 most days and its always quite noisy, when i do ring I've been told someone will ring back but they haven't. They've always been really helpful in the past, answered emails pretty quickly or even rang me after an email I've sent. They wanted a lot from me but have slackened off on the help.
I'm beginning to think they're taking a back seat......which is unnerving. We all know about the changes but it seems to be reality when people who were so helpful now can't give a monkeys!!
