Policy & Procedures
We have implemented a wide range of policies and procedures at Coombe Day Nursery Ltd, to ensure the well-being, safety and involvement of all. Further policies and procedures available on request.
PUPIL PREMIUM
The Pupil premium is some additional funded hours provided to early years settings as of April 2015 in addition to school funded hours for children aged 9 months+ they meet certain a criteria. Please see link available: https://www.gov.uk/get-extra-early-years-funding Children must receive free early education to attract EYPP funded hours. They do not have to take up the full 570 hours of early education they are entitled to receive EYPP. The aim of the EYPP funded hours is to close the gap between children who are referred to as ‘disadvantaged’ by the government and other children by having some additional funded hours to raise further the quality of provision we offer. We are committed to ensuring that the funded hours is spent in ways that benefit these children.
Early Education Entitlements
We offer funded hours from 9 months+. To ensure fees stay the same for parents, we spread the 38 weeks of funded hours over 51 weeks we are open. Should you request an invoice, these details will be itemised clearly, alongside fees and funded hours. We are also happy to accept the additional 15 hours childcare making 30 hours, this funded hours is spread the same as the above. You must apply for the additional 15 hours yourself to see if you are eligible, then you must provide the funding code.
As we operate for 51 weeks of the year and government funded hours only covers 38 weeks, we "stretch" the funded hours to offer consistent care across the year. This helps to spread the funded hours more evenly each month and keeps your monthly payments more stable. Please note that food and healthcare charges are now categorised as additional fees. To avoid confusion, we have included these in the monthly cost rather than invoicing separately. Should you request an invoice, these details will be itemised clearly, alongside fees and funded hours. Please see example invoice below, and our funding policy in place.
