We make use of the Government NI incentive to assist in reducing costs especially since the introduction of higher employer NIC and the new NMW each April.

The Pre-School is still seeing a reduction in applications. This is in part to the reducing birth rate. The WPE funding from the government has seen an increase in under 3 applications and offer that can be made. We are still unable to make use of the WPE 30 hour offer as we do not have access to availability with the premises.
