The Pre-school Learning Alliance has made two guides available for free online: Guide to calculating the cost of delivering childcare and Guide to identifying delivery costs.
The first includes a detailed cost template, alongside guidance on calculating hours of delivery, and extra advice practitioners might wish to include, such as time spent in extra meetings, SEND provision, and opening and closing routines.
The second one is a shorter, simplified version of the first to help providers identify delivery costs.
The Department for Education wants early years providers to contribute evidence ahead of the funding review and wants to hear about the costs settings have to meet to offer the early education places.
