This term we have been made aware from our local authority that parents are not qualifying for 2 year neg as the extra support they have been given from the government takes them over the £15,400 threshold.

This will have a detrimental effect on nurseries nationally and also on the development of 2 years olds.

The government have already cut back our support and resources over the years resulting in children's needs being delayed by professionals outside of education settings.

Why should we have to fight for support when the education secretary wants higher attendance for funded children to enhance their learning, pin point those in need under social care and those that maybe on the special educational needs pathway.

the threshold needs to be made higher or not count the temporary additional help to the cost of living.
