Special Broadcast


1. Important - Online Provider Portal now closed for Planned Maintenance

As planned, please be advised that the Online Provider Portal (OPP) is now closed whilst we upgrade our technology.

This will affect all tasks within the OPP (including Free Entitlement, course booking requests and the Termly update form).

Free Entitlement spring term actuals: The deadline has passed and we cannot accept late submissions, however we will be re-opening the OPP 14-16 February for you to check your claims. If you missed the deadline you can submit your actuals between those dates but only for children present during headcount week. Unfortunately we will not be able to process any FE claims by phone or e-mail.

Please follow the usual exceptional payment request process for children who wish to start after headcount day.

Courses: To book spaces on courses whilst the OPP is unavailable please contact the Family Information Service on 01243 777807, please ensure you have your training subscription number available. The OPP will be available again by 2 February 2018.

Further updates will be provided via the weekly broadcasts.
