C1403 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sorry to jump on post and slightly off topic... are there set dates when funding payments are received? (Working on our draft budget with the treasurer. Have a meeting with our manager next week who does all the funding, but just thought I'd ask here too) We're committee led.

finleysmaid Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 it will depend on your local LEA arrangements. We get a large percentage at the start of term and the remainder at the half as an adjustment. But to my knowledge there are no government set dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there one nursery/pre-school in the land that has ever increased their hourly rate to a parent by 2p?

Well we don't get to find out until after we've signed the contract... how many other businesses would sign this type of contract? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyPancakes Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's awful and I'm pretty sure other service providers don't stand for it. Despite our Local Authority being quite helpful, and the funding not diabolical, I was rather put out recently to find that the non-funded week (hope it's not just us who get funding 38 weeks out of 39) is not at the end of the school year as it was the past few years, but at the end of this term. So if the family leaves before the end of the school year I've lost that week's funding when I could have had an extra week's holiday in July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) We are only open for 38 wks (went back a bit later after Xmas) though one week of this terms funding gets claimed with next terms funding, which is ok but the Children due to start after Easter who are funded or funded chn increasing hours should really be invited to do those hours for the week before the holiday or they will miss a week of their Summer terms funding or claim a week less for them I suppose ....so complicated :-/ PS not heard anything about funding yet, presuming it will stay the same.

We've offered the Easter starters to start that week we may be actually settling from a week or so after we go back after half term so they will get their hours. I've explained the issue to the new parents and they are happy with that. As the LA- they seem to make their own 'business rules'... then so am I. We're told to think outside the box, so that's my answer! We are only open the 38 weeks, I'm not bothered by what the schools do, and I'm certainly not going to offer a free week just to keep parents/LA happy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I’m sure many won’t even have thought about it louby, I like the settling idea to use them :-) though I’d have to check my ratio’s as I have a few that only become 3 during the Easter hols so it may not be possible to bring them in before at all ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, we only open 38, no way would we offer a free week.! Hard enough offering the 38 we are funded for! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKeyteach Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not sure if yòu remember company called Carrilion who took on govt contracts. Wonder how similar their contracts were? Perhaps we should be more business like in our approach and not care about the mess we would leave behind if our model didnt work. This is what makes our "industry" so super special. We do care and will go so many extra miled to make sure it does. Lets be proud of what we achieve on an extra 2p per hour! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to add - even if they only worked 38, I would still close for 5 inset days - schools still take inset days in term time and staff do have to be trained. Our LA are more than fine with us including inset days in the 38 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
