The risks facing the whole eady years
sector is due to underfunding by the
Govemment. The ever increasing NLW
and cost of Irving is far OLrtstripping the
Early Years Funding received. We are
prevented by the LA to pass on the
drfFeren￿ beIN￿n the Eady Years
Funding and the actual cost of providing
childcare. which forces us to fundraise
regularly to provrde resources and
consumables.
