On 11th Jan Sarah (Financial Manager) and I met to finalise the admissions to make sure that we are at our limit of 34 children per session.
We had to make a decision as to who to admit - we went by age of applicant, and gave out a few more places to those children who were oldest on the list, so that they will get 2 terms of Bunnies before going to Nursery.
We have offered 2 children spaces after referral from Clarissa of EASE. I have contacted Claire Welsbey, Children's Centre co-ordinator, to try to find out whether funding is available though Children in Need (Ealing) to help fund these and other subsidised places.
We still have between 5-10 children who ideally want a space before starting Nursery, but the chances that they will get a space now are unlikely. One of the families has just moved into the area - which is why a 1st come 1st served policy cannot always be used in an area of relatively high population mobility such as Hanwell.
