Fuschia

That's a good idea Fun mummy and child time at the gardens cafe Inc bonding toilet visit and snap a little photo story on your phone then you can relive it later

I would suggest you ask tessa Howells to find out was had happened and also make a formal Complaint to the la quoting those last two clauses I found from the code of practice

The nursery may be misunderstanding the funding mechanism I might be wrong, but I think there is a mixture of payment in advance for fte places filled, and payment in arrears for actual pupils on roll.

I would contact Tessa Jowell as she covers Lambeth also Found some useful stuff for you http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/doc/c/cl%20-%20co/code%20of%20practice%20for%20local%20authorities%20%20%20september%202010.doc Appeals 3.16 Local authorities should put in place complaints procedures for parents who are not satisfied that their child has received their free entitlement in the correct way, as outlined in Chapter 2. All complaints procedures should satisfy public law requirements. In the event that a parent is not satisfied with the way in which their complaint has been dealt with or believes the authority has acted unreasonably, they may make a complaint to the Local Authority Ombudsman. Such complaints will only be considered when the local complaints procedures have been exhausted .. Children who move or start late in the term 5.22 Local authorities should ensure that, from parents? perspective, eligible children are provided with the free entitlement as soon as they start at a provider, including if they change provider late in the term ? unless this breaks the terms of the parental declaration (see 6.15). Local authorities should ensure that parents are not expected to pay for any part of their free entitlement if the child starts after the headcount date and should ensure that providers are funded accordingly to enable this. Reclaiming funding for absent children 5.23 Local authorities should not penalise providers if a child is booked to attend the setting but is unexpectedly absent for a single session or short period. However, local authorities should use their discretion where absence is recurring or for extended periods and should set out their policy on this in their Provider Agreements (see 6.11). Before seeking to reclaim funding, local authorities may wish to consider factors such as whether there is a parental declaration in place (see 6.15), whether the setting could fill the place or use it more flexibly as an alternative, and whether the absence will impact on staffing.

No, they can't just disregard her because she is absent (how long was she absent for, though?) Let me find the COP

It is probably the case that southwark has a single census date for this term snd they had offrolled her I suggest you ask them if they can just make a correction with southwark I would definitely involve your councillor If you find the govts code if practice for las on nursery education grant it might have useful guidance

i asm guessing the nursery misunderstood the new census arrangements now in place and rather than outting her as on roll bvut absent, marked her as offroll or missed her off totally see if they can amend their return?

That can't be right unless you took her off roll... and even if she was offroll, I have never heard of a child being denied the grant due to joining after term started - though I don't know ab0ut souhwark's procedures I would cintact your ward councillor and ask them to raise it on your behalf

Think I will go again tomorrow

Molly Molly Mandy Sweet as sugar candy

When I met MrF he kept all his shirts stuffed into a binbag in the bottom of his wardrobe and ironed one each morning, hence the ironing board was always up and served dual purpose as a sideboard

Schools are likely to be closed...

I do have an ironer! But I am so rubbish at ironing it's a necessity

Hands up it was me who started the discussion, though it did originate from the SAHM thread. I'm not getting at anyone, honestly.. just thought it would make for a bit of lively discussion (which it has) Though I must say it's immensely reassuring to know that virtually everybody I know who has a nice clean house also has a cleaner! I was beginning to worry it was just me who is not superwoman.

What exactly has happened? This is the nursery grant rather than tax credits? How old are the children?

I am not sure I exactly understand You would like to introduce a plastic dummy but your partner prefers to breastfeed a little for comfort? Babies do like to suck, and I have S always preferred to offer a bit of milk when comfort is required It's very much preference I think, some people swear by them while others really dislike them There are some advantages in bf rTher than dummy, for jaw formation, teeth positiOning etc I doubt it's worth falling out over ... Your partner is probably not up for a big debate, only 5 weeks after giving birth If child no 1 had a dummy, have you and your partner drawn different conclusions from the experience?
