Notice Description

This service will provide high quality, inclusive early education and childcare to children under five years old. Providers must have previous recent experience of delivering Ofsted-registered, high quality early education and childcare to meet the minimum requirements for this tender and will need to evidence this. The provider will have a sound knowledge of working within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and contribute to the outcomes as identified within the specification. The provider will need to have a strong governance structure in place and a finance team which is able to oversee and monitor the appropriate use of a complex set of funding streams from the Council and Department for Education. The provider will understand and adhere to all safeguarding and child protection requirements as set out by the London Safeguarding Children's Board and comply with local safeguarding processes. The provider will work closely with a variety of council officers, health and voluntary sector partners in order to deliver the service, including (for example), Bright Start early childhood multi-agency teams, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) team, safeguarding and finance officers, and the Family Information Service (FIS). Multi-disciplinary working is essential for delivering outcomes for children and their families
