Government focus on Home
Learning Environment
‘By 2028, the percentage of children who do not achieve at
least expected levels across all goals in the
‘communication & language’ and ‘literacy’ areas of learning
at the end of reception year (EYFSP) is reduced by half”
Damian Hinds, Secretary of State
We need your help to do this!

New National Campaign:
Hungry Little Minds
• Aims to be a society-wide effort to improve the early literacy
and language skills in the early years
• Launched with ideas to support children's learning at home, or
as part of everyday activities, e.g. on the bus or out shopping.
• Aims to tackle the barriers some parents face in supporting
their child’s learning at home, including time, confidence and
ideas of things to do
• Website includes video tips, advice and games
• Bringing together a coalition of businesses and organisations,
including the LEGO Group, Penguin Random House, The
Premiership, Arriva and the Greggs Foundation.
• BBC has worked . with the Royal College of Speech and
Language Therapists on a language and literacy campaign-
Tiny Happy People.
• Aiming to help reduce the language gap in children below 5 in
the UK
• At the heart of the plan is a simple behaviour change – getting
parents to talk to their children from a very early age.
• Activities, videos, tips and advice, science and facts
• The first year of the campaign will focus on pregnancy to 12
months and the following four years will take each subsequent
year of the child’s life

(ONS Mid year 2019)
Summary
• There are over 2,500 surplus 15 hour places (for
2,3 and 4 year olds) reported across the County
• There are only 2 areas where demand
outweighs supply (*Colwick / Netherfield, and
Bellamy in Mansfield)
• The continued rise of families accessing
extended entitlements appears to have had a
impact on the need for wrap around and holiday
care
1314/01/2020
Next Steps
• Address areas where take up of 2 year old funded
places is less than average (Golden Ticket, targeted work
with Children’s Centres)
• Address 2 areas* working with schools and
childminders
• Consider the need for increased places for out of
school care
• Work with schools to increase awareness of Early
Education in PVI settings and to prevent the over
supply of places

But, not all providers are completing their returns.
The data will be more robust if we receive more returns.
Better Start Task reminders..
We need you enter the ages and stages data for the children on your list
(find this in Headcount Menu > Payment History)

We need you enter the ages and stages data for the children on your list
2) Enter data under each aspect heading using pull down menus
Better Start reporting (reminder)
• The reporting instructions are on our webpage and are issued each time
we set a task or a reminder to complete the return.
• They enable you to track children’s progress
1614/01/2020
Report Run on 04/04/2019
Support to complete the task
or run reports
• Written instructions (on web page and link in
portal messages)
• Your Quality and Attainment teacher/advisor can
support during a planned visit to the setting.
• Telephone appointment with Technical Specialists
1714/01/2020
Payment interface
• NCC identified Early Years payments as suitable
for creation of new payment interface due to high
volumes and frequency, namely 600+ payments
processed each month
• More automated and less time consuming for ECS
team – no manual coding or authorising involved
• More efficient process for providers - ensures we
pay you on time by published dates after task
closures.
Payment interface
• Because of the strict business process of
payment and file creation, submission and audit,
it means that we cannot accommodate ‘ad hoc’
payments in between set payment runs.
• As ever, we rely on providers submitting returns
on time and for them to understand the process.
• ‘How do we calculate the monthly payments?’
flowchart is issued each term via portal
message.
1814/01/2020
Reminder of process
3 tasks per term create up to 5
payments per term
Task 1 Task 2
Payment 1 (30%)
or Task 3
(amendment)
Payment 2 (30%) Payment 2 (60%)
Payment 5:
Payment 3 (20%) Funding
Statement Remaining funding after
issued after amendment task including
Payment 4 (20%) each
inclusion funding balance
payment
Notice any difference?
• Most providers will not notice any difference to their
payments
• Nursery chains using a single bank account, will get a
large payment for all of their nurseries (because all the
payments are added together if they go on the same day)
• View statements to determine what funding has gone to
each setting.
• Or, set up a bank account for each setting to receive
separate remittance advices

conversation with the inspector throughout
the day.

learning walk.
