Early Years Update

30 Hour Codes

Please validate any new codes you have ASAP via the Wizard.

All providers with parents still in grace periods have been contacted this week. Thank you for being understanding with parents experiencing technical difficulties. We are working with HMRC and DfE on how we can further support these parents if their cases are not resolved by 31st December, and there should be a discretionary period in January for these parents. We will keep you informed in early January as to what this is.

Early Years SLA

Thanks to all settings who have signed up to the Early Years SLA to date and for your level of interest shown in our Early Years Professional Development Programme this year. For schools and settings yet to subscribe, and whilst there is no deadline, we highly recommend doing so before the Christmas break to help maximise the full benefits of subscription.

You may have already seen, we have sent a list via facebook and email of all courses available throughout January where places are still available. To book a place, please use the online booking system in the course programme.

If you are yet to subscribe, or wish to access any ad hoc training, then please contact Lesley Kelly on 01670 622739.

For schools who wish to subscribe please contact Linda Nichol on 01670 623596

Please note – there is a new generic mailbox for SEND finance – SENDFinance@northumberland.gov.uk

​Thank you for all your hard work and support this term, we hope you have a great break and we look forward to working with you in 2018.
