The Family and Childcare Trust has
developed a free toolkit to support mixed model partnership
approaches to delivering the extended free entitlement for three and four year
olds. The interactive toolkit is designed to help childcare providers set
up or join a partnership, maximise the benefits of working together and tackle
the challenges joint working can bring.
The toolkit was developed following the 30
Hours Mixed Model Partnership project, commissioned by the Department for
Education (DfE). Click here to
access the toolkit.
The
Council’s ambition is for all support provided to people to be ‘Active
Support’: not only does Active Support help people progress towards greater
independence but their support workers also get much better job
satisfaction. With origins in the field of services for people with
learning disabilities, Active Support principles can be applied to anyone who
needs support. Here is a link to one national organisation who
describes their approach to Active Support.

Support (PBS) Seminars

Annual Childcare Costs
Survey
The Family and Childcare Trust collects statistics about
childcare costs and availability in Britain. The data collected from local
authority Family Information Services makes it possible to monitor changes in
childcare costs and supply from year to year.
The reports are widely used by policymakers and academics in all parts
of the UK and beyond - another good reason for childcare providers to keep
their FIS up to date with their details. The latest report is due to be
published in February 2017.
If you are a provider and are looking to find out what
current contracts are available with Nottinghamshire County Council you can

A
leaflet has been produced which provides advice and signposting to anyone who
