This webinar will bring together a panel to take stock of the challenges for providers when it comes to meeting the extension of the 30 subsidised hours for all children by September 2025.

With many parents already claiming their 15 hours for two-year-olds, it provides a timely opportunity to assess both the current and long term impact of the extended offer on the sector.

Themes for discussion:
• Expanding capacity: Gauging the scale of new openings and existing expansions
• Meeting parent demand: Taking a look at the booking trends on the ground
• Making the funded hours pay: Whether charging for consumables is the only way to remain sustainable
•Managing administration: Exploring the operational demands of keeping on top of occupancy and funded hours, how to reduce time spent on it, and what the potential pitfalls are
