‼️URGENT CHILDMINDER FUNDING SURVEY- A CHILDMINDER CENTRED APPROACH?‼️

We urgently need help from all childminders to collect preliminary feedback before Monday. Please re-share to your network where possible. Thank you 🙏

Early years funding rates are set based on nursery ratios, and there’s growing recognition that this model doesn’t work well for childminder settings. Data that Coram PACEY released in autumn highlighted the impact of low 3- and 4-year old rates in particular, with many childminders having to reduce or limit places for this age group.

We are now exploring how an approach for funding might work better for childminders and allow you to better provide funded places and run your business sustainably. This survey is for you to share your views and insights to help us shape our early thinking in this area - we are not putting forward any definitive proposals at this early stage.

(Please note this survey is open to childminders in England only)

☆ To infinity and beyond… with CPR and defib training! ☆

Taught an awareness session today for another company, and spotted Woody and the gang outside the venue — all lovingly knitted by the amazing 🧶 They’ve definitely got ‘a friend in me’ for raising money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance 🚁💛
What a toy-riffic thing to do!

☆ Public learning in action ☆

Our recent CPR awareness session, run for another company, empowered more community members with life-saving skills. Hosted by a local organisation, this casual drop-in event covered CPR basics, defib usage, and practice on manikins. More names to add to the chart!

☆ STAR rated, by YOU! ☆

When training is required for your job - it’s important your teacher understands your responsibilities, so we’re pleased to receive this feedback from a learner in a preschool in York after their Paediatric First Aid course: “I found the training useful and beneficial. Thank you” ★★★★★

☆ Community learning for ☆

Helping another company today, providing CPR and AED awareness sessions, for people in a local community to pop over and have a go. Excellent participants coming from different walks of life to find out more and ask questions. We explored the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest and signs and symptoms, what CPR is and when and how to do it, plus finding out about the yellow boxes we see in our communities containing defibrillators, common places we might find AEDs and where else we can find out, and the important role they have in CPR. Lovely to bump into more people keen to ask questions and enquire about getting some training too. Huge well done to everyone who had a go and joined in. More names to add to the chart this month! SuperSTARs all round! 💫
