Business healthcheck to live on after 4Children closure

An early years ‘business healthcheck’ website to replace the now defunct 4Children version, is due to be relaunched in the new year.

As before, settings will be able to fill out an online questionnaire, settings will receive a diagnosis and advice on how to improve the health of their business.

The consultancy behind the venture, Flourishing People, agreed to upgrade the service before the major childcare charity’s closure was announced.

The 4Children Business Skills Support Hub and Business Healthcheck Tool were set up in 2012, using funding from the DfE.

Jacqui Burke, director of Flourishing People, said, ‘Unfortunately one of the things that happened because 4Children haven’t had enough funding, is a lot of the features on the website weren’t being maintained.

‘I’ll be relaunching it as a Flourishing People service and we’ve been given access to all the existing information.’
