sunnyday Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks Jacquie - I will try to summon up the strength to read it!
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks for that Jacquie-I have had a quick look and it makes for interesting reading. I was at a meeting about this on Tuesday evening and I think we need to send a copy of this to our LEA. Linda
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks for this Jacquie. I have read through it but if anyone would like to tell me what it said I'd be very grateful . One quote that did jump out at me was this: “Funding the most flexible options more favourably will mean that in order to ac cess any additional funding children will not be attending the nursery on 5 consecutive d ays. Continuity of learning/peer groups etc. will be totally lost. Flexibility suits parents – not children.” We have a waiting list and a good reputation, but I fear that by paying more for flexible places we might have to either become more flexible or lose staff as we lose money through lesser amounts per head. I am looking at extending our hours but we have serious restraints over use of the building so I am trying to work out what "flexible" means in our LA.
