BIG CHANGES TO FREE CHILDCARE COMING IN APRIL 2024

Childcare Choices: Get the help that fits your family, so you can juggle work and life
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 Childcare Choices website 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.
And from next year even more help is on the way:
• From April 2024, eligible working parents in England with children aged 2 will have access to 15 hours childcare.
• From September 2024, the 15 hours childcare offer will be expanded to eligible working parents in England with children between 9 and 23 months old.
• From September 2025, eligible working parents in England with children between 9 months up to school age will have access to 30 hours childcare.

Don’t miss out on getting the support you are entitled to. Visit the Childcare Choices website to check what offer you might be eligible for and sign up to our newsletter to get the latest updates about the childcare support expansion.

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.
