FISH Fact:

Funding

Childcare Sufficency - AMENDMENT to LINK

The Local Authority has a statutory duty to secure sufficient childcare for working parents. We are required to produce a Childcare Sufficency Report to show a clear picture of the available childcare within the East Riding, with the introduction of the new funding entitlements this has become an even greater importance.

To ensure this is accurate and precise we are asking all settings to complete the attached Excel spreadsheet and return via e-mail to fish@eastriding.gov.uk by Friday 13^th December 2024.

We have tried to make it as simple and easy to complete as possible and whilst we appreciate some of the data won’t be 100% accurate as children may start/leave after this date, it will help us greatly moving forward.
