A4.2 Construct a formula composed of either a single base rate for all

providers or a number of base rates differentiated by type of provider according to unavoidable cost differences. The formula

must include a deprivation supplement for three- and four-year-olds, but is not required to do so for

two-year-olds.

In Birmingham

  PVINursery School

Primary Nursery Class

Birmingham £3.59 £6.30 £4.94

BCC settings are paid at rates up to £6.30 per hour to deliver funded places for 3 and 4 year olds.

All PVI settings in Birmingham are paid at £3.59 per hour for 3 & 4 year old

Birmingham is in the 10% most unfair Local Authorities

57%

8

If we are paid the same for 2 year olds, why not the same for 3 and 4 year olds?

"How can PVI sector provide the same quality of

experience for our children as the maintained sector, with

only 57% of the funding per child that the maintained sector receives, plus higher

costs?"

10

Half of the children in the city are funded

better than the other half yet improvements

to Early Years outcomes are sought for ALL

children.

11

BCC wants to see an improvement in early years

outcomes.

The single most effective way to deliver this is to implement a fairer funding model that is legally compliant with Statutory Guidance

What does this mean?Birmingham City Council current

budget £18 million towards PVIs

What they should give to PVIs if they followed the Statutory Guidance

£25 million

SHORTFALL of £7 million that PVIs should receive

16

However…

PVI Support Association are not seeking a reduction for

maintained sector

butan increase in funding for

PVI nursery providers

17

What would this mean for PVI nursery providers? EXTRA funding

 

If PVI sector children were funded £4.95 an hour (equal and raised to maintain setting levels)

If children were funded £6.30 an hour

10 £7,752.00 £15,447.0020 £15,504.00 £30,894.0030 £23,256.00 £46,341.0040 £31,008.00 £61,788.0050 £38,760.00 £77,235.0060 £46,512.00 £92,682.0070 £54,264.00 £108,129.0080 £62,016.00 £123,576.0090 £69,768.00 £139,023.00100 £77,520.00 £154,470.00

In either situation the Living Wage would

NOT be an issue if fair funding is

implemented

19

The Early Years Forum…

34 members- 4 represent PVI providers - 30 represent Non PVIs

11% PVI representation despite

51.4% PVI provision

PVI Support Association wishes to have access to all information related to Early Years matters (including statistics) that BCC hold.  

20

Fair Representation will lead to (for example)…

Equal treatment when in funding dispute with LA settings

Equal access to full time places as LA settings (parental choice)

21

Equal Support?

If a non PVI setting is judged ‘Inadequate’, BCC gives support

If PVI judged ‘Inadequate’, immediate withdrawal of funding

22

PVI Support Association can provide….

First Class Ofsted inspection preparation support

If PVI setting is ever judged ‘Inadequate’, PVI Support Association will provide immediate support with action plans that include not having withdrawal of funding

23

We believe there is some way to go before PVI Providers will be satisfied that the children under their care are

being treated equally.

PVI Support will continue this campaign until the voices all children are heard.

PVI Support will continue to campaign until all children are offered this full

range of support services.

78% of PVI rated ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’

Taking into account all providers in Birmingham City Council

69% overall rated ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’

Suggests substantial underperformance of maintained sector despite receiving double the

funding as PVIs
