Dear Service Provider,
Service providers are reminded that changes to service calendars must be first approved by County Childcare Committees (CCCs) and parents must be given 20 working days’ notice in writing of any change to the service’s calendar.
Copies of such notices must be kept on file for compliance purposes.
Approved providers in contract for the ECCE Programme must be open for a minimum of 38 weeks (or 182 days) over the programme year.
For further information on service calendars, please contact your local CCC or refer to the ECCE service calendar and the CCSP Savers service calendar guidance pages available on the Hive.
Kind Regards
The Early Years Team
