Sue R Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 In our setting we have three main types: Full Day - 8 - 6; Morning 8 -1; Afternoon 1 -6. FD obviously includes snacks, lunch and tea. The two half days include snacks and either lunch or tea. Additionally there is before school, 8 till they are taken to school and after school, 3.30-6 (includes tea). Some children we collect from school morning nursery at 11.30(ish) until whenever they are collected, receiving meals as required - this is priced on application. Some are cared for all morning then dropped off at school nursery after lunch. The funding is usually applied to a core period during these times (with the approval of LEA). Grant only children do 9-12.30 or 12.30 - 3.30. Additionally, an extra half hour can be booked (at a price) at the beginning and/or end of the day, extending the potential full day to 7.30 - 6.30. Flexible is our middle name! Any help? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belle06 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 we do the same as Sue and any children who are entitled to the 15hrs NEG have that amount deducted from their weekly bill and parents/carers pay the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
