This Funding Support Pack is an epic 135 page, 39000+ word PDF document that is bursting with support to help you navigate funding within your fabulous childminding business. I was asked repeatedly for a funding policy template, which I thought was nigh on impossible as there are 152 different local authorities and each one has their own way of doing things. So I started doing some research a few months ago, fell down a rabbit hole and created this pack for childminders across England! 
 
It’s split into chapters and easy to digest sections that covers everything from is funding right for you, to explaining consumable fees to parents, dealing with the local authority and step by step help with the funding calculations!
 
For a full list of the contents, please see the photos as I couldn't fit them all into the description here - I have left no stone unturned!
 
Here are the chapters;
Burning Questions - the stuff we really want the answers too!
Funding Fundamentals - the ‘rules’ & different types of funding
Signing Up and the Local Authority - from how to become a provider to hoe to handle the portal
Parents and Funding - tools to explain everything to parents and help with the Funding Declaration Forms
Delivering Funding - tools for writing your funding policy and a ready made template for one as well as answers to lots of questions about different funding scenarios
Funding Calculations - step by step support with working out funded hours, additional hours, shared settings etc, invoice template, help to collate data for the portal and to work out funding percentages and what your income will be!
 
You will also find a Funding Support Extra Pack available for £5 in my shop if you wish to edit any of the 18 templates provided in this main pack! That one contains a Zip file of editable Word documents for you to add your logo and make them pertinent to your setting if you wish! 
 
Everything included within this Funding Support Pack is done so to the best of my knowledge, experience and has been fact checked. I am not a funding expert but I am a registered and active childminder, former experienced teacher, write and owner of childmindingpaperwork.com, an avid researcher, finder of facts, owner of the Friendly Childminders group on Facebook, and I am passionate about childminding and supporting others!
 
The examples used within the pack are made up and any similarity to a real person is coincidental. The artwork was created using AI and all the writing was done by me. I do not take legal responsibility for this pack. I do own the copyright to all my work and I do not hesitate to pursue legal action if I find this is breached. As with all my work, both the Funding Support Pack and the Funding Support Extra Pack are only to be used by the individual childminder who purchases it and permission is not granted for it to be used within an agency, local authority or other organisation.

On a lighter note, this pack was an absolute labour of love and I am really proud of it!! I hope it serves you well!
