Funding Q as a CM

4 replies

LoisEinhorn · 24/05/2014 10:33

I've been working 18 months now and had my first enquiry about funding.
LO currently has 15 hours funding and attends a nursery. Mum is not happy and wants LO to come to me now.
Can I access the funding? How do I do it?
TIA x

I am a cm and I have just started doing funded places, bit of a pain to set up and they pay in arrears not in advance. once its set up its fine though and slightly more than my normal hourly rate.

Bear in mind that funding is v often considerably less than the hourly rate charged by the CM. The shortfall cannot be collected by the CM from the parents and a financial loss can occur. Lots of CM have chosen not to uptake the funding programme because of this.

You need to contact your Early Years team at your LA to see how to begin in my area
