21. TrainingWorkforce development raises concern particularly in view of demand stemming from expansion of Flying Start.There are concerns regarding the quality of training that is available and the standard that some practitioners havereached at the end of their courses. For this reason the EYFSS have established a Training Unit that providesquality QCF training at levels 1 – 5 and an Entry level qualification. External examiners reports have beenoutstanding with the emphasis being on the quality of the training that is being provided. Even with such highrecommendation from external bodies accessing funding to support students is difficult. There is a limit to thenumber of students that can be accepted due to the number of assessors employed, If appropriate funding couldbe accessed apart from Flying Start financial support, we could accommodate training for many more students tohelp meet the anticipated shortfall in readily available, high quality trained childcare staff22. RecommendationsPrimarily the gaps identified by the 2011 CSA focus on out of school childcare and holiday care provision.However, there are areas identified in this refresh that have an increased birth rate and new housing is proposedSo we need to ensure that there is adequate levels of childcare available in these areas.In the areas where full day care provision has closed and in the areas listed below where there is no childmindingprovision these will be the targeted areas for development in 2013/14: Beddau, Cwm Clydach, Ferndale,Llwynypia, Mt Ash East, Rhydyfelin Central, Treforest and YstradThere is no registered after school provision in the following areas: Cilfynydd, Glyncoch, Hawthorn, Hirwaun,Llanharry, Llantwit Faerdref, Maerdy, Penrhiwceiber, Taffs Well, Tonyrefail West, Tylorstown, Tynant, Ynyshir.Development work if required in these areas to identify if there is a demand to establish after school provision,playcare provision or holiday care.o No Play group (Sessional care provision) in the following:Graig, Treforest, Trallwng, Tynant, Cwm Clydach, Cwmbach, Llanharan, Llanharry, Llantrisant, Mt. Ash East,Penrhiwceiber,Rhondda, Ton Teg, and Tonypandy, Development work is required in these areas to identify if there is a demand toestablish Sessional care.Sustainability of wrap around care in some of the most deprived area is challenging due to low take up the service.This will remain a focus for the year ahead and grant aid and business advice will be critical to their ongoingviability.58
Playcare services are proving a popular option for parents, as the provision of open access play schemes, wrappedin registered childcare, provides families with a much cheaper option than full time day care and is more enjoyablefor older children. Parents pay only for the care element of the service and therefore receive about four hours freeof charge. This model presents as the most viable way of developing and sustaining holiday care in the future.23.
