| Council Resource | Education |
| Service Area | Education |
| Aims and Objectives | This proposal is to consider maximising the use of staff, accommodation and therefore potential places available within early years establishments with a view to increased income generation. This includes increasing the flexibility of service to expand options for parents if possible such as the continued offer of wraparound services. Education Resources are looking to expand the fee paying places by extending hours in nursery classes, where viable, and offering parents flexibility and provision of a one stop service for early learning and childcare needs. |
| Conclusion | The aim of this proposal is to positively improve the flexibility of the delivery of early learning and childcare services offered by the Council. This is in line with the national agenda and supporting the Working Parents agenda. No negative impact is anticipated for any of the groups covered by the protected characteristics in respect of this proposal as the Council will continue to support any young person or member of staff who has an identified need. |
