Have recived a letter stating The Early Years Development Childcare Partnership has a small amount of funding available to assist sustainability of childcare throughout my area,

It normally means that they have a system where if you have a full time vacancy for more than a certain amount of time they will pay you a grant until you find a mindee. The amount of time vacant and the amount of time payment is for and how much depend on each Local Authority.

I would give them a ring and check it out. My friend gets a small pot of money each year but it has to be spent on something very specific. I am sure she called it this. Sorry not explaining myself very well
