BIG CHANGES TO FREE CHILDCARE HAVE ARRIVED!!!

Best Start in Life parent Hub:  Get the help that fits your family, so you can juggle work and life

Early Years childcare support has expanded.   

From September 2025, 15 hours for working families with children under 3 has expanded to 30 hours, meaning eligible working families can now apply for 30 hours of childcare for 38 weeks of the year from the term after their child turns 9 months until they reach school age.  

If you currently receive 15 hours as working parents, just reconfirm as usual and the code will work for the 30 hours offer, providing you remain eligible. 


Thousands of families could be saving money on their childcare costs. But some simply don’t know what support they might be eligible for. The Best Start in Life parent hub brings together all the existing childcare offers in one place, so parents can get the help that fits their family. This could be through Tax-Free Childcare, 30 Hours Childcare, or Universal Credit Childcare. Some families might be eligible to use more than one childcare schemes together and get the most out of it.


Don’t miss out on getting the support you are entitled to. Visit the Best Start in Life parent hub  to check what offer you might be eligible for and sign up to their newsletter and personalised weekly emails to get the latest updates.

Please come into our branch and speak to our managers if you need help applying for funding.

 

Policies and Safeguarding

Policies

Please click on the links below to read a copy of our latest policies here at Flying High Nursery School.  Please contact us if you have any questions regarding any of our policies.

Safeguarding

 

The health and safety of your child is our number one priority.

​What is safeguarding?

​Safeguarding is:

  • Protecting children from maltreatment;
  • Preventing impairment of children's health or development;
  • Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and
  • Taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances by accessing services as early as possible.

The Flying High Nursery will fulfil their local and national responsibilities as  laid out in the following documents:-

​We have qualified Designated Safeguarding Leads in each of our settings who handle any concerns about the welfare of children.  They undertake Safeguarding training at least every 2 years and they also keep up to date with any requirements on a daily basis. 

All members of staff and Directors are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check to ensure that they are suitable to work with children.  We take the recruitment of staff very seriously and the manager, deputy manager, business manager and one of the directors are Safer Recruitment trained.

We ensure that our Safeguarding Policy complies with current Government guidance and adopt the recommended policy from Birmingham Safeguarding Board, making adaptations and modifications if necessary.
