Children eligtbl¢ for Nursery Funding but not claiming it with us will be charged at the unfunded rate, While we do not provide daily snack& we have an annual ohw'ge for oc¢asional food pr¢paration and tasting activities during the year, plus other consumables. This was increased to £25 per child from Septemb¢r. Nursery funding rose to £5.201hour from April. The Early Years Pupil Premium Claims were again submitted. 2 children were eligible. 4 children received 30-hours funding.

In April a pay ris¢ of over 90/0 was given for four staff roles to keep them at or above the legally required National Living Wage.
