Services for Young Children (SfYC) business support service
All registered nurseries, pre-schools and out of school clubs in Hampshire have access to the business support service. We can advise on issues such as sustainability, business expansion, help with funding headcount forms, or discussion around your Improvement Support Programme (ISP) level of support. SfYC runs regular surgeries for you to meet us and get the help you need. Details of the next business surgeries are advertised on the SfYC Calendar of Events page.
This is a tool for you to use with yourself if a childminder and childcare teams and governance leads to help you formulate your plans for reopening. At this time the government is indicating 1 June and this will be confirmed around 28 May when the Government confirm if the 5 tests they require to be achieved have been. The document is comprehensive but is not exhaustive and it will be for you to use to help you with your own thinking in how you plan for the next stage. It does not replace the government’s guidance which is what you need to read to ensure you are developing your strategy to meet the ever changing requirements. We hope you find this a helpful and useful tool at these unprecedented times.
