Key provider responsibilities. 2.1 The provider must comply with all relevant legislation and insurance requirements and sign this agreement, which will remain in force until there is a change of management, either party withdraw from the scheme or the agreement is amended. 2.2 The provider should deliver the free entitlements consistently to all parents, whether in receipt of 15 or 30 hours and regardless of whether they opt to pay for optional services or consumables. This means that the provider should be clear and communicate to parents’ details about the days and times that they offer free places, along with their services and charges. Those children accessing only the free entitlements should receive the same quality and access to provision as paying children. 2.3 The provider must follow the EYFS and have clear safeguarding policies and procedures in place that link to Gloucestershire County Council’s guidance for recognising, responding, reporting and recording suspected or actual abuse. 2.4 The provider must have arrangements in place to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These arrangements should include a clear approach to identifying and responding to SEND. Providers should utilise the SEN inclusion fund and Disability Access Fund to deliver effective support, whilst making information available about their SEND offer to parents. 2.5 The provider should have good partnership arrangements in place to work with schools and parents to support transitions for all children starting school. The provider should have in place systems and interventions to identify and support children in their pre-school year who may not be ready for learning (RFL) when they start reception year in school. The provider should share this information with the receiving school.
