As a parent or carer, you have an important role to play in helping your child take the first steps on their learning journey. We are keen to work with you to make sure that starting at a nursery or Foundation Stage Unit is a positive experience for your child, and to help your child achieve their full potential in a warm and caring environment. No doubt, you will have begun thinking about the nursery, pre-school or childminder that you would like your child to attend. Your child may already have an awareness of a nursery or Foundation Stage Unit in a school from older brothers and sisters who have attended, or you may have talked to your child about what starting nursery means. This booklet is designed to give you information about provision for two, three and four-year-old children in Devon schools, and to help you through the process of applying for a nursery place for your child. It may not answer all your questions, so if you need any help with the nursery admissions process please contact the Early Years and Childcare Sufficiency Lead or the relevant person from the contact list at the beginning of this booklet. Jennie Stephens Strategic Director, People Stepping Out 5 Stepping Out Introduction This booklet is written for parents The EYE starts at the beginning and carers, to explain how to of the term following your child’s apply for a place in a Nursery, third birthday and continues up Pre-school or Foundation Stage until your child starts at school.

A list of all nurseries, Foundation Stage Units (FSU) and Governor run Preschools can be found at the end of this booklet. All three and four year old children are entitled to 570 hours of funded early education a year. This is called the Early Years Entitlement (EYE). Devon County Council (DCC) gives the funding to the school based on the number of hours that you choose to send your child. Most schools open during term times only and the entitlement is taken as 15 hours a week over 38 weeks in the year. The government will increase this to 30 hours for some working families from September 2017. Schools are expected to offer those hours flexibly at times that meet the needs of parents. DCC funds schools and private, voluntary and independent sector early years providers to offer the EYE and hopes that all eligible three and four-year-olds will take up the full entitlement to give our children the very best start to their education.

    PTE/15/16 Cabinet 11 March 2015 Flood Risk Management Action Plan 2015/16 Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Cabinet (and confirmation under the provisions of the Council's Constitution) before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that Cabinet: (a) approves the implementation of the 2015/16 Action Plan by the County Council’s Flood Risk Management Team; (b) delegates to the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for flooding, any changes to the programme and related expenditure of less than £50k. 1. Purpose The aim of this report is to provide Cabinet with an update on delivery of the 2014/15 Flood Risk Management Action Plan and gain approval for the implementation of the proposed Action Plan for 2015/16. A process, by which actions can be amended or reprioritised, subject to delivery opportunities, is also proposed. 2. Summary As a result of the widespread flooding experienced in Devon over recent years a prioritised programme of works has been developed. This has been prepared in accordance with the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and where possible in partnership with other Risk Management Authorities. 3. Update on Achievements for 2014/15 As a result of the works delivered by Devon County Council and in some cases through partnership working with the Environment Agency and District Councils, up to 150 properties have been provided with improved flood protection this year, so reducing the risk of further internal flooding.

    Newton Poppleford Harpford & Colaton Raleigh Our lovely River Otter looking over the flower baskets on Tipton St John bridge photo: thanks to Jeff Chapman St Luke St Gregory the Great St John the Baptist Newton Poppleford Harpford (BCP) Colaton Raleigh "Normal" Sunday services are unlikely to be happening for some while yet. A Sunday service on 'Zoom' is held at 10.00am each Sunday mainly for the congregations of Mark's 'patch' – the parishes of Newton Poppleford, Harpford, Colaton Raleigh and Tipton St John with Venn Ottery – though anyone with internet access is welcome to join in. Email Mark Ward (as below) to receive the link to join in. Ring a friend if you don't know how to use Zoom – more than half the population have learnt how to use it in the last few months. Mark is planning to follow this each Sunday with a simple said service in St Luke's Church, Newton Poppleford at 11.00am. Of course, this will have to follow the safety rules – hand sanitising on entry and exit, social distancing and wearing of face covering. No singing is permitted, so it won't be 'returning to normal' At present, chairs are set out at 2 metre distancing, so there is only space for some 20 people (depending on how many come as couples or family groups). You'll be welcomed if you do come, but please obey any instructions from the steward, and don't be disappointed if there is not enough room to fit you in safely. Colaton Raleigh Church is open for private prayer a couple of mornings a week – see the notice board on the church gate for updated days and times, and please respect the safety and distancing rules.
