 The terms and conditions of free early education for three and four year olds states that 15 hours of free universal funding must be available for children at the start of the term after their third birthday, this means that unfunded/unpaid sessions for younger children attending less than fifteen hours per week cannot be offered to others until parents declare how many funded sessions they require for their child.  The number of children attending lunch club has risen overall, due to the number of children accessing 30 hours of free early education. also due to a change in the governments delegated conditions of funding the setting was forced to include half of the lunch club hours within the 30 hour entitlement, this meant that we can no longer offer lunch club to children who only attend morning or afternoon sessions.  Snack bar - contributions are still extremely low with the majority of Parents being either unable/unwilling to contribute financially or by providing a snack for their child themselves, this could impact on
