Government funding for family members.
Government funding to be entitled to children who attend a family members childminding buisness, as long as they are from a different household.
Why is this important?
Family members are treated like every other child in the inclusive childminding settings. Payment support is available for them too, such as universal credit, tax free childcare and childcare vouchers. It is only the funding which is not allowed. It is unfair to potentially move a settled child from their learning setting just because they are family and will not receive the 15/30 hours funding in the family members setting because of this reason.
