We have been invited to apply for the pathfinder project and have to make the decision to quite quickly.
I understand the 15 hours entitlement etc and have read many posts regarding this, however most are from sessional settings, so the implications people are experiencing probably wouldn't affect me, such as opening hours etc.
I would love to hear from anyone from a full day care setting who is on this project at the moment, and any pros and cons.
Many Thanks

Hi Lucy
I am a full day care setting from lincoln doing the pathfinder as from September to be honest I have not come across any cons to the 15 hr entitlement and can only see it been a benefit to parents and the setting. With our day-care been open 8 till 6 everyday can not see us having to do much different to what we are already doing. If you have any specific questions feel free to message me..

One hundred years from now, it will not matter what car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much I had in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child

We are a school nursery and I can only think it is easier for day nurseries to provide the 15 hour entitlement than it is for sessional settings such as ours.

Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.

Thanks for that Belle, i probably will message you with some queries!
Weightman - just on my way out but will explain more tommorow, though only have limited info at the mo!
That was what i thought Marion, we are open for 10.5 hours mon to fri so i was hoping it would be simpler for us to take part.

We are opening at 8.45 -3.30 and our parents are paying the CC for lunchtime if they take the option of a full day
