The Department for Education states that the Early Years Funding is intended to cover the cost to deliver 15 to 30 hours of free flexible childcare. It DOES NOT cover consumables & materials, Tapestry, tablets for photo’s, learning journals and daily diaries, maintenance of our nursery, admin. With the impact of covid, the national living wage rates, food and general running costs for the Early Years Sector many settings now have to charge parents for additional services not covered by the Early Years Funding.
