narnia Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just wondering......................receieved a letter from our LEA this morning, advising that, following consultation with settings in our county, ALL settings will receive the same amount of funding from April this year.( I voted for everyone to receive the same) Ours is currently set at £3.86 per hour, and schools at £4.10, childminders get £8.96.............so I'm trying to figure out what the new rate will be? Do other counties do this? I'll obviously be pleased if our rates go up ( for the Spring terms, I think mine is going to drop to £3.59 as we have quite a few more children accessing the FE)..........interesting!

Scarlettangel Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I haven't heard about them all being the same in our county which is Worcestershire. The maintained nursery is getting £2.86 and the private provision £3.24 per hour currently I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 In Somerset we all have the same base rate but the final amount includes a vareity of 'add ons' like having a EYP, no of children from deprived areas, distance from next provider, number of hours open etc. So, for example, I receive an extra 25p per child per hour for being a qualified EYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I wish we all had the same in the county. We are a Borough and run the same as max321 said we have a base rate the same but then have add ons for quality, deprivation, EYP, and hours, and a supplement for being private. Our base rate is £3.11, our childminders get £4+ and so do our maintained nurseries. As we are a Borough next to another Borough in a county or three LA's give different amounts, all very different amounts as well. We are the smallest so get less than the other 2 LA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
