Downloads: Childcare funding letter templates to parents and MPs

Information for parents and the wider public about the challenges that early years providers are facing, regarding delivery of the funded childcare places.

 

NDNA has put together a template letter – which you can adapt and update depending on your own circumstances – for you to send to parents. This explains why nurseries must ask parents to pay charges for funded places and why they are also having to put up fees to parents. You can use the letter in full or choose sections that back up your own points. We have included national background information and statistics that should support your main arguments.
