Common use of For example Clause in Contracts

For example. If a child with a universal 15 hour offer goes to a maintained nursery class for three hours every morning and your setting for two afternoons a week, all the universal funding will go to the school and you will have to charge the parent. • If a child with an extended 30 hour offer goes to a maintained nursery class for 15 hours a week and your setting for 25 hours a week, we will be able to fund you for 15 hours and the school will also get funding for 15 hours. You will charge the parent for the additional 10 hours. When a child is accessing their Funded Entitlement at more than one provider, providers should work in partnership with other providers and parents to ensure continuity of care and effective transitional arrangements to support the child’s learning, development and well- being (for example, sharing child development records, the two year progress check and details of hours attending). The Family and Childcare Trust have created a toolkit exploring different ways of responding to the extended funded entitlement through a partnership approach.

If a child goes to your setting for more than the maximum funded entitlement, or for hours outside your FEE sessions as detailed in your information for parents or Terms & Conditions the parent must pay you for the additional time. Please note that children funded by FEET should be able to access their entitlement with no additional charge. A session length for the delivery of FEET should not be set so that a parent has to pay for any additional time unless they wish to. Children moving from FEET to FEE should be able to continue to access the same hours, terms and conditions they were accessing under FEET if they request to do so. It is your responsibility as the provider to make arrangements with the parent to pay for any additional services. You should make parents aware in writing of any charges for additional services before they take up their funded place. Your offer for delivery and charging should be clear and transparent so that parents understand what they will be charged for and how much this will be. You must give parents information on FEET and FEE and run a clear and transparent invoice system, which does not show a charge for the funded entitlement. The invoice should include the number of funded hours and detail of what the charges apply to. Providers should require parents to sign to confirm that they have read and understood the charging arrangements. Where a child is only accessing FEET or FEE at your setting there is no need to send parents an invoice. Can a child change from stretched hours to term time hours or term time hours to stretched hours once a claim for funding has been made? Once a child starts at a childcare provider, they will have to continue claiming either term time or stretched hours until the funded period after their next birthday (not linked to academic year) to ensure they do not exceed the maximum number of hours. You should make parents aware of this before they take up their funding. This will apply even if the child changes providers mid-way through the child’s funded period before their next birthday. What happens once my setting is registered to deliver funded entitlements? SCC will issue you with a Department for Education unique reference number (DFE URN) in addition to your Ofsted URN. Once your application has been approved and you have secure access to the Early Education Portal, you will be able to claim the funding immediately. You will find all the forms you need to claim funding at xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx What happens if I am already claiming for FEET children and receive an Ofsted outcome of requires improvement or inadequate? If you receive a requires improvement Ofsted inspection outcome we will contact you to discuss whether your setting will be able to remain in the Directory of Providers and what support we might be able to offer. If you receive an inadequate Ofsted inspection outcome, Ofsted will notify us before the inspection report is published. At the point of notification, we will not agree to provide FEE or FEET funding for any further children at your setting. In exceptional circumstances, we may continue to fund children in a setting with an Ofsted inspection outcome of inadequate. How do I withdraw from the Surrey ‘Directory of Providers for 2, 3 and 4 year olds? If you choose to withdraw, you must tell the Funded Early Education Team in writing. If you withdraw part way through a funded period, you will need to repay any funding already paid to you for that funded period. You should write to individual parents giving at least a funded period or three months’ notice to allow them to make alternative arrangements. How do I access the Early Education Portal to make my claims for funding? As part of the registration process, you will need to complete a Login Request form. You can request up to three logins if you are a group setting and two logins if you are a childminder. Each person must have their own mobile number to be able to receive a code to enter into the log in screen to access the portal. Where an owner or manager needs to access multiple accounts these can be linked together so that only one mobile phone needs to be used to access all accounts. At least one person in each setting has to have ‘manager’ rights to be able to complete and electronically sign the provider agreement. If a member of staff leaves the setting and has access to a portal account, you must inform the Funded Early Education Team immediately. They will then remove this log in from the account. This is important as it ensures staff members who no longer are employed at a setting do not have access to children’s information. How many hours is each child entitled to in a school or private, voluntary or independent setting? Children are entitled to a maximum of 570 hours per year for the universal entitlement or 1140 hours for the extended entitlement. This is either delivered over 15 hours or 30 hours per week for a maximum of 38 weeks a year or for fewer hours for more weeks in the year although the total number of hours will remain 570 or 1140 per year.
