Ideally we would see this happening in the child’s local setting or parents choice of setting, however where a child’s needs cannot be met by this provider we will work with the CFIT (children & Family Information Team) to support the identification of an appropriate alternative. The Inclusion Team will use a range of resources to attempt to ensure that all settings are able to provide quality care for all children. This will include the provision of additional funding through the ChIF process, direct support from the Area Inco team, Outreach support from one of the contracted expert providers, support from the Portage service, training, or support groups. ChIF is only available to settings with no financial reserves when supporting children with severe/profound support needs.

Development of Childminding There are 35 childminders providing funded early years education to two year, three and four year olds. 5 providers are working towards becoming EYE providers.

Development of out of school/holiday provision There are a range of Extended School activities currently running across the council area. Some of these activities run during school lunch breaks, before and after school, during the holidays and on inset days. They include sports based activities, cooking and eating programmes, art and drama, study and homework support, literacy and numeracy programmes. Local sports centres also offer a range of activities and sporting sessions during all school holidays and after school.

Parental demand There have been no unmet requests for childcare during the year. The Childcare and Family Information Team (CFIT) supported families in finding provision particularly for those children who are funded as a two year old.

Grant funding There have been no grants awarded this quarter.+

Conclusion

The “Childcare places analysis (balance sheet)” at the beginning of this report details the net loss/gain in places across the council area by quarter and showing an annual total.

During the quarter, one childminder opened, with five closing, an overall loss of twenty nine places. One new home child carer opened and one closed. It is not known how many childcare places they will provide but likely to be one to two places. One playscheme closed. Overall the market decreased by 59 places.

The numbers of two year old funded places was lower than anticipated and the market met the demand for two, three, and four year old nursery education places.

From September 2014 the Government has extended the eligibility criteria and anticipates 40% of all 2-year-olds nationally are eligible to take up a free early years education place. This has required the local development team work with the childcare market to develop additional places for two year olds. The local development team has been working with settings in order to build quality and capacity. There are currently 37 settings and 34 childminders providing early years education to two year olds. Currently, 2 year old places are meeting current demand for funded provision.

The Local Development Team is working with providers to participate in the “stretched offer”. This gives parents the opportunity to stretch the 15 hours a week free nursery education over a longer number of weeks than the standard 38 weeks of the year. 7 nurseries, and 2 childminders are providing this offer.

Plans are in place for the Aldershot Urban Extension and the development zones have been identified, and the first 175 houses will be built in 2014/15 with approximately 250 – 275 houses annually until 2019 with continued development to 2023. The first school will open in 2016. Two nurseries and two preschools have been built into the planning development and will be available as each 1000 milestone for housing is met.
