6
1
The provision of this regulation shall apply for determining the manner of counting children for the purposes of regulation 7.
2
For each grant period, only those children may be counted who either —
a
attend at least one session of nursery education provided by the provider during the week in which the head count takes place, or
b
only fail so to attend because of illness or for some other exceptional reason but are at that time genuinely expected to take up the place which the provider has allocated to them.
3
Except in the case of a child in relation to whom paragraph (4) or (5) applies, for the purposes of determining the number of children for whom a provider is providing nursery education in any grant period every such child shall count towards that number as a whole child.
4
Except in the case of a child in relation to whom paragraph (5) applies or for the purposes of regulation 7(5), where, throughout a grant period, a provider provides nursery education for a child for fewer than five sessions per week, for the purposes of determining the number of children for whom nursery education places are provided that child shall count towards that number to the extent obtained by supplying the following formula —

For the purposes of regulation 7(6) only, this paragraph applies throughout a grant period, if, in that period, for any number of weeks the following conditions are both met, namely —

in a case in which the conditions in paragraph (5) are met during every week in which nursery education is provided for the child throughout the grant period, the formula is
A × P T
where
A is the child, P is the average number of sessions of nursery education provided by the provider for the child each week during the grant period and T is the average of the total number of all sessions of nursery education provided for the child each week during the grant period for which grant is claimed;
b
in a case in which the conditions in paragraph (5) apply for a number of weeks (“N weeks”) during the grant period that are fewer than the total number of weeks (“W weeks”) in which nursery education is provided for the child, if for each of the remaining weeks (“W-N weeks”) grant is claimed in respect of the child by only one provider and nursery education is provided by that provider for fewer than 5 sessions, the formula is
A × N ( P ÷ T ) + ( W - N ) ( Q ÷ 5 ) W
where
A is the child P is the average number of sessions of nursery education provided by the provider during each of the weeks in which the conditions are met, T is the average of the total number of all sessions of nursery education provided for the child each such week and Q is the average number of sessions provided for the child by the provider in each week in which the conditions are not, or one of the conditions is not, met.
c
in any other case in which the conditions in paragraph (5) apply for a number of weeks (“N weeks”) during the grant period that are fewer than the total number of weeks (“W weeks”) in which nursery education is provided for the child, if for the remaining weeks (“W-N weeks”) nursery education is provided for the child by one provider, the formula is
A × N ( P ÷ T ) + ( W - N ) W
where
A is the child, P is the average number of sessions of nursery education provided by the provider during each of the weeks in which the conditions are met, and T is the average of the total number of all sessions of nursery education provided for the child each such week.
7
For the purposes of regulation 7(2), the number of reckonable children is given by subtracting from the number of children for whom places are provided at such schools as are mentioned there for the period in question the number of children provision of nursery education for whom during that period has been taken into account in calculating the Revenue Support Grant payable to the local education authority for the financial year in which that period falls.
7
1
The provisions of this regulation shall have effect for determining the amount of grant payable to a provider of nursery education.
2
The amount of grant made to a local education authority for any grant period in respect of nursery education provided at schools maintained by them shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the unit amount by the number of reckonable children.
3
The amount of grant made to an authority for any grant period in respect of nursery education provided by them (other than provision in respect of which grant is made under paragraph (2) or would be made under that paragraph but for the effect of regulation 6(7)) shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the unit amount by the number of children for whom nursery education places are so provided for that period.
4
The amount of a grant made to person (other than an authority or a local education authority) for any grant period in respect of nursery education provided by that person shall be the lesser of the amounts calculated in accordance with paragraphs (5) and (6).
5
In this paragraph, the amount is the amount obtained by multiplying the allowable unit cost by the number of children for whom nursery education is so provided by that person during that period.
6
In this paragraph, the amount is the amount obtained by multiplying the unit amount by the number of children for whom nursery education is so provided by that person during that period.
