Have your say on the NEG code

The National Day Nurseries Association is urging nurseries to take part in a short online survey to assess the impact of the Code of Practice on the PVI sector. The survey is completely anonymous and open to non-members. The NDNA wants to raise the issue of under-funding many nurseries are facing in offering the nursery education grant entitlement for three-and four-year-olds. NDNA chief executive Purnima Tanuku said, 'We want to gather evidence across the country to get a national picture of the scale of the problem.

Different local authorities have different ways of following the guidance.

The survey goes live today and closes on 1 December. Visit www.ndna.org.uk

to take part.
