1. Important: Early Years Census 2019 – advance notice
As you may know, every year we carry out the Early Years Census for the Department for Education (DfE). This is a mandatory return. The Census is important because it is used to calculate the funding West Sussex County Council receives for free early education.
As usual, we need to collect child-level and setting-level information from you to submit to the DfE. The child-level information is collected, like we do every term, via your Spring actuals claim and the setting-level information is collected via the online Census form.
Please note, the Online Provider Portal will be open from Wednesday 2 January 2019 for you to:
- Complete your Early Years Census Form
- Submit your Spring term Free Entitlement actuals claim
Headcount day is Thursday 17 January 2019.
Further instructions will be in the Setting broadcast email on Wednesday 2 January 2019.
As 2018 draws to a close, a reminder that this is the last broadcast for 2018. The next one will be sent on Wednesday 2 January 2019. In the meantime we hope you have a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year from all of us within Integrated Prevention and Earliest Help.
