Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Share 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.
