Offer a combination of sessions to offer 30 hours in a week. I.e. breakfast, after school, and sessional.
Where practical and financially viable extend hours within the day.
Work in partnership to split entitlement with other providers where children move from one site to another.
Work in partnership with other providers to use your premises.
If children are not having lunch at nursery as parents are opting not to pay, and packed lunches are not allowed, is it acceptable for parents to be asked to pick the child up over the lunch break e.g. morning session 9am-12 noon, lunch break 12-1pm afternoon session 2-5pm?
The statutory guidance is very clear on page 14 that “Evidence shows that continuous provision is in the best interests of the child. Where it is reasonably practicable local authorities should ensure that children are able to take up their free hours in continuous blocks and avoid artificial breaks being created throughout the day, for example over the lunch period.” It is also clear, on page 13, that “providers should work with parents to ensure that as far as possible the pattern of hours are convenient for parents’ working hours”. Requiring parents to pay for lunch, or pick up their child in the middle of the day during the lunch hour, is not consistent with this statutory guidance.
Think about lunch as a break in continuous provision. To resolve issues around ensuring it is not a condition of access consider making part of the FFE and charging for provision around the start and end of the funded sessions.

If stretched across 51 weeks of the year this can be split into 3 x 7 ½ hours days. However the risks are that parents may be able to fit their working day around the funded hours & potentially less inclined to purchase additional hours.
