Inge Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Plus- there were 2 levels of funding, one for the first 15 hours and one for the additional hours ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Oh let's hope many more pull out - perhaps this could be the beginning of us all pulling out of offering the 15 hours too unless funding rates are increased to realistic levels 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsy Daisy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 A coordinated withdrawal from the 15 hours plus settings refusing to engage with the 30 hours set up could force the government to rethink matters.Junior doctors, parents withdrawing children from SATs and next, Early Years providers taking a stand. I hope this is the beginnig of the country telling the government what they think of their policies. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 re comment from Finlay's maid: I am led to believe York did not top slice - that is what they have been given by government and as I understand it the other EI areas have been given the same , where they are created 30 hour places. I also understand the rate is for the additional 15 hours only. It has been stated many times,here and in other forums, the quoted £4.88 is a national average which includes London weighting areas. As an example of this, government say the current national average for 2YO's is £5.10 - our LA gets (and gives) £4.95. London LA's get in excess of £6. As you will know the proposed new national formula will dictate what each area will get and LA's will not be allowed to top slice (and not all do believe it or not) - this will then be the proof of the funding rate as set by government not individual LA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see why, if you are trying to sell an idea, that under funding it to this extent would work ...either on the part of the lea or the DFE .

BroadOaks Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 With our LA being one of the few that actually do pay a (in comparison to what i have seen) decent funding rate, I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I have now come to realise the variations in funding amounts per LA!!! It is ridiculous and I actually wonder how much is being sliced off in some areas?! The rate we get being a full time PVA - includes a average base rate, but with many supplements for opening over 10 hours per day and 50weeks per year, and for deprivation and also for employing a QTS - so naturally the 30 hours funding is very much welcomed if at this same rate. Although the more I think about it, I have come to realise 30 hours will not mean double the funding! it will mean doubling the base rate.. thus lowering the overall rate. So yes it is therefor a much needed cause to increase the funding base rates.. and especially for the settings that are already getting a terrible deal!! So let's do this!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyfs1966 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 talk about "making it up as you go along"....not exactly a properly thought through plan is it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So you withdraw from offering "free" provision and the rate goes up - umm now there's an idea. Whilst this is a better rate than initially offered for York providers I doubt it covers their costs however. Also this one has popped up showing how having the 30 hours with these qualifying criteria may widen the gap by reducing the number of spaces available to funded 2 year olds and those 3 and 4 year olds who only qualify for 15 hours. Now I'm sure that this net reduction of available places that the 30 hours would cause was mentioned on here many moons ago!!!! http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/nursery-world/news/1157483/30-hours-childcare-risks-widening-the-gap-in-the-early-years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
