15 & 30 hours funding
All children qualify for 15 hour funded entitlement (for 38 weeks a year i.e. term time only) from the term following their third birthday.
Some families will be eligible to claim a further 15 hours of funding (30 hours in total), from the term after their child's third birthday. To check whether you are eligible visit the www.childcarechoices.gov.uk site. However, it is important for parents to understand that eligibility does not guarantee a funded place at a childcare setting.
Funding for eligible two year olds can also be claimed the term following their second birthday. Working parents can check whether they are eligible to claim up to 15 hours of funding by visiting the Childcare Choices website.
Some families may also be eligible for Two Year Old Support Funding. Please be aware that this is dependent on income and/or receipt of certain benefits and parents/carers must check their eligibility on the North Yorkshire Council website.
Funded hours can be taken at Busy Bees or may be able to be split with another childcare provider if your child attends another setting.
An additional services charge applies to funded places. Please contact the setting for further information.
Tax-Free Childcare
We accept payment via the government tax-free childcare scheme. Parents/carers need to apply via the GOV.UK website and if eligible contact us for further details of how to ensure payment to our account.
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
The setting works to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice. Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) is Sarah.
Attendance
Please contact us on 01423 870351 by 10am if your child will not be attending for any reason. If your child is absent and you fail to get in touch, the Pre-School Manager or Administrator may contact you to check that all is well and when we can expect your child to return. If you are going to be late collecting your child at the end of the session, it is very important that you telephone us to let us know.
End of Session Collection of Children
Children should be collected promptly at their appropriate finishing time (11.45am, 12.45pm or 3.00pm). Parents/carers are requested to wait outside until their child is brought to them by a member of staff. This is for safeguarding reasons to ensure that each child is matched to the appropriate parent/carer.
Please note that if a child is not collected our Non-Collection of Children Policy will be followed, with the appropriate outside organisations being informed.
