1. Settings offering Extended FE

Last week we looked at real life testimonials from parents – thanking you for all that you do for your communities by providing the Free Entitlements (FE) to your families.

This week we wanted to say another massive thank you to those of you who are part of the scheme and thought you might like to know how many childcare settings are offering FE places this term.

In West Sussex…

717 settings offer Universal and/or 2 year old FE.

From these…

618 settings are offering the Extended FE this term.

Overall…

·         79% of all Preschools are offering Extended FE

·         93% of all Day Nurseries are offering Extended FE

·         88% of FE Childminders are offering Extended FE

Within these settings , over 3300 children and their families are benefiting from Extended FE this term.
