From a colleague
Sue Robb was there from 4children. Big announcements on the 30th May.
Main concern for me she covered was that the government are working
on moving the legal entry limit so instead of the year they are 4 to go
to nursery it is hoped it will be 3. This is so they can take 2 year old funding.
They are almost there on securing funding from the building program to make
this happen- dear me where are we going with our children. This will have a great
impact on childminders as we will end up doing wrap around for them providing they
don't offer extended day.
My reply then next email
Well it's true I nearly fell off my chair- and there was a great in take of breath
in the room.
Their argument it gives parents a choice of all provisions- or are they trying to replace
us.
Schools to be bought onboard up to foundation stage in early years.
- two year old funding
- teachers up to foundation stage doing child development
- more involved in the training and support we have had/ have not
there will be a national contract for support
Anyone else heard this?
