providers or a number of base rates differentiated by type of provider according to unavoidable cost differences. The formula
must include a deprivation supplement for three- and four-year-olds, but is not required to do so for
two-year-olds.

In Birmingham
PVINursery School
Primary Nursery Class
Birmingham £3.59 £6.30 £4.94
BCC settings are paid at rates up to £6.30 per hour to deliver funded places for 3 and 4 year olds.
All PVI settings in Birmingham are paid at £3.59 per hour for 3 & 4 year old
Birmingham is in the 10% most unfair Local Authorities
57%

If we are paid the same for 2 year olds, why not the same for 3 and 4 year olds?

"How can PVI sector provide the same quality of
experience for our children as the maintained sector, with
only 57% of the funding per child that the maintained sector receives, plus higher
costs?"
10
Half of the children in the city are funded
better than the other half yet improvements
to Early Years outcomes are sought for ALL
children.
11
BCC wants to see an improvement in early years
outcomes.
The single most effective way to deliver this is to implement a fairer funding model that is legally compliant with Statutory Guidance

What does this mean?Birmingham City Council current
budget £18 million towards PVIs
What they should give to PVIs if they followed the Statutory Guidance
£25 million
SHORTFALL of £7 million that PVIs should receive

However…
PVI Support Association are not seeking a reduction for
maintained sector
butan increase in funding for
PVI nursery providers
17
What would this mean for PVI nursery providers? EXTRA funding
If PVI sector children were funded £4.95 an hour (equal and raised to maintain setting levels)
If children were funded £6.30 an hour
10 £7,752.00 £15,447.0020 £15,504.00 £30,894.0030 £23,256.00 £46,341.0040 £31,008.00 £61,788.0050 £38,760.00 £77,235.0060 £46,512.00 £92,682.0070 £54,264.00 £108,129.0080 £62,016.00 £123,576.0090 £69,768.00 £139,023.00100 £77,520.00 £154,470.00

In either situation the Living Wage would
NOT be an issue if fair funding is
implemented
19
The Early Years Forum…
34 members- 4 represent PVI providers - 30 represent Non PVIs
11% PVI representation despite
51.4% PVI provision
PVI Support Association wishes to have access to all information related to Early Years matters (including statistics) that BCC hold.
20
Fair Representation will lead to (for example)…
Equal treatment when in funding dispute with LA settings
Equal access to full time places as LA settings (parental choice)
21
Equal Support?
If a non PVI setting is judged ‘Inadequate’, BCC gives support
If PVI judged ‘Inadequate’, immediate withdrawal of funding
22
PVI Support Association can provide….
First Class Ofsted inspection preparation support
If PVI setting is ever judged ‘Inadequate’, PVI Support Association will provide immediate support with action plans that include not having withdrawal of funding
23
We believe there is some way to go before PVI Providers will be satisfied that the children under their care are
being treated equally.
PVI Support will continue this campaign until the voices all children are heard.
PVI Support will continue to campaign until all children are offered this full
range of support services.

78% of PVI rated ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’
Taking into account all providers in Birmingham City Council
69% overall rated ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’
Suggests substantial underperformance of maintained sector despite receiving double the
funding as PVIs
