    I have emailed my MP - also got an 'automatic response' apparently he is receiving an unprecedented amount of emails (I bet he is!) but will aim to respond as soon as possible - I won't be holding my breath......

    Sad to say that I can't take anything that Dr Jenny Harries says seriously, she was happy for The Cheltenham Festival (horse racing) and the big football match (can't remember the details) to go ahead in March of last year.... I would much rather listen to Professor Calum Semple: Earlier this week BBC Breakfast interviewed Professor Calum Semple, a virologist and member of SAGE. When asked he if he could give any idea why early years settings were remaining open when schools were not, he said “no, I can’t” he went on to say that the decision to do so may be political as it was not a scientific one, he added, the reality is that, under these circumstances every opportunity to remove social mixing is vitally important.

    I can't help you I am afraid - I had one piece of info (phone call) that made me think Kent had decided to pay for only those children attending (this wouldn't work for me) but then this morning the latest news was that they have not yet decided Good luck with everything nomski

    Do you think they will go up - I wouldn't be too sure - I think (very sadly) that we haven't reached the peak of this wave yet - surely if infection rates continue to grow right minded people will be less inclined to send their children

    Oh I will add that I don't have any parents relying on me to allow them to work That seemed to be what our glorious leader was indicating was the rationale for keeping us open Might try and find the comment from Prof. Calum Semple that this was purely political decision which was not supported by SAGE

    It will only be a fleshed out version of what I have included in my (now edited) post
  14. sunnyday
    I will certainly be writing to mine - it will provide a wonderful opportunity for me to express my complete outrage I took the decision, with support from parents, to keep my setting closed - great decision as it turns out, as LA will only fund those children actually present, I think I would have had no more than three each morning - that level of funding would hardly cover my rent However my initial decision was based on safety concerns - I simply will not/cannot put the children, their families and the groups adults at increased risk of infection - the infection rate in my area is terrifying
  15. sunnyday
    Same - but I'm willing to give it a try
  16. sunnyday
    Yep - that's what I thought too - good old Judith though for asking the question

    Go Brighton! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-55567154

    That is so wrong That money does not BELONG to the LAs anyway - they are just provided with it to pass onto settings
  20. sunnyday
    Jeez you couldn't make it up could you
  21. sunnyday
    Exactly - I don't have anyone relying on me to open so that they can work I just think that we have royally shafted (again) I firmly believe that we should be closed, or only places for key worker or vulnerable children
  22. sunnyday
    You can say that again!
  23. sunnyday
    Have spoken to them today I don't think any firm decision yet - I'm not open anyway so I certainly don't expect funding, I wanted to know what to do as I should be completing my headcount in a couple of weeks - I won't be able to do that, I have already had a payment in advance, do they want that back now, can I submit my headcount after half-term if I am open then - sorry I'm not asking you (!) that's what I was asking them..... Having been in touch with parents I now know that I probably would have been to 3 or 4 children.....
  24. sunnyday
    So pleased for you
  25. sunnyday
    Definitely a boohoo
