rosepetal Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi , Can someone give me advice please, i was unsure about which course to do, it was between a management course or the foundation degree in early years. After much deliberation, i have decided to do the foundation degree, having just read a few old messages about funding from the transformation fund, can someone explain to me, do i apply for the funding myself or do the owners of the nursery i am SNO in. On Friday i told my manager i want to do the foundation degree and she said she will let the owners know and they will let me know if they will pay towards it from the transformation fund. The course is due to start in September, the application form is being sent to me from the college so time is running out, so if i need to apply to the tranformation fund myself i would need to do it very quickly, i am just a little unsure. Thank you Rosepetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belle06 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I needed to apply for funding myself through a bursary through our local early years department. I ended up getting all my course for the full three years funded I would start the ball rolling ASAP rather than wait for reply from your bosses. If I can be of any further help give me a shout.

Inge Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Our staff member applied for this herself to cover the fees, via early years. Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Rosepetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) I also had to contact my local Early Years Unit myself and sort it out - but there shouldn't be any problem with you getting the funding. Edited June 9, 2007 by Wolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I applied through my setting but if you ring your local authority they will direct you whatever route you need to take, I need to apply for the second year and have just changed jobs so may just ring as well.

Guest Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I also applied for funding myself through Early Years. Have just enquired about the second year so am eagerly waiting for a response! Good luck rosepetal! As Wolfie said, there shouldn't be any problems with getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
