Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us; it really is much appreciated. <br>We offer our sessions in 5-hour blocks between 8-1 or 1-6, or a full day, to ensure that we are able to offer funded sessions to the maximum number of families in a sustainable way. This model of offering in 10-hours blocks is given as an example for Early Years operational guidance for offering funded places from the Department for Education. We have given a bit more flexibility for parents by offering in 5-hour blocks between the times stated above, rather than just the set 10-hours. Offering a 9-3 session would sadly block available childcare for other families that need to access a full day, limiting the spaces that we have available.<br>In terms of food, removing packed lunches allowed us greater control of the foods that enter the setting, as we have a number of children that attend with allergies and dietary requirements, therefore providing a safer environment for them.<br>Thank you again for your review!
