Business support
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).
We run 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.
Starting out
We can help if you are thinking about setting up a new childcare business.
Recruitment
Resources for recruiting staff and handling employment issues are available from the SfYC Moodle - 'Business and Welfare support' section.
Workplace pensions
Employers must provide, and contribute to, a workplace pension scheme for employees.
Self-Employment/Tax
If you are self-employed, you are responsible for your own tax returns. HM Revenue and Customs have online support and guides to help self-employed people with this task.
Cash flow
Maintaining financial records and managing budgets may seem daunting but they are an important part of running a successful business. We have a guide and template spreadsheets to help you.
Community and voluntary providers
All new committee members need to complete a DBS check and Ofsted EY2 form. Once the checks have been done details need to be submitted to the Charity Commission.
Tax-free childcare
Tax-free childcare is a government scheme to help working parents with the cost of childcare. Parents can open an account to pay a registered childcare provider.
Sources of Income
Income can be provided from Early Years Education funding and other sources.
