Decision details

A paper was taken to Executive on 12 September 2024 to inform them about the approach for determining allocations of the capital and revenue grants to create and expand places for the delivery of the childcare reforms. At the meeting Executive members approved;
• The revenue spend to create the new years and wraparound places to deliver this ambitious programme.
• The delegation of authority to the Corporate Director of Children and Education, the Director of Governance and the Director of Finance to develop the grant allocation process, procure and award and enter into the resulting grant agreements.

This round of the grant application process ran from 1st October – 29th October inviting applications from wraparound providers who wished to create or expand to offer wraparound childcare places. This round has now completed and resulted in the following successful applicants:

Total funded to be awarded in this round – £9000.00
