We will be doing maintenance to our website systems on Sunday, 31 January. Despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19 it is essential that we maintain the security of our systems. This will help us continue to deliver vital public health messages and information about council services via our website and allow you all to access our services using online forms. The work should be done with little disruption to you and any interruption should be short. If you do have problems accessing the site or something doesn’t work on Sunday, please try again later.
The Local Authority is applying to pilot early rollout of the 30hrs entitlement to 3&4 year old children of working families. The additional 15 hours of free childcare will help working families manage the cost of childcare and support parents into work or to work more hours, should they wish to.
The new entitlement is due to take effect from September 2017. For more information here is the link to Policy Statement https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/465446/Childcare_Bill_Policy_statement.pdf
To support us with our bid please answer this 2 question poll and return to
kay.holden@bradford.gov.uk stating the name of your school in the title of the message via email by noon on Monday 16th November.
Please tell us:
YES
NO
NOT SURE
Are you interested in finding out more about the 30hrs entitlement?
Are you interested in being part of an early implementation trial?
Thank you very much for your help. Whether or not we are successful in our bid we will keep you informed and involved as the new entitlement comes into place.
If you are currently delivering 2 year old places and have already responded you need take no further action.
