network childminders can now receive free entitlemen funding for 3 and 4 year olds

[changingsoon]

just got leaflet through the post. anyone know what it means

I think it's the education grant that 3 and 4 year olds get. On the network in my county you can become 'accredited' then you draw down the funding from the government and parents get funded hours with you.

for essex network you have to be level 3 to be accredited. this means you provide the 3 & 4 yr gov funding in essex its £9.02per 2.5 hour session
