Early Years Pupil Premium

The aim of the Early Years Pupil Premium is to close the gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and other children by providing additional funding to settings such as ours, therefore providing the opportunity to raise the quality of provision we offer.

All children aged three and four (not two year olds), who meet the eligibility criteria will benefit from the funding.  This funding is paid directly to us on an hourly rate basis, linked to claimed hours for each entitled child.  In order to be able to claim this funding we require parents / carers to sign the termly funding agreement which asks for details of parent’s date of birth and National Insurance Number.

Which three and four-year olds will be eligible for the EYPP?

A child will be eligible for the EYPP if they:

• Are in a low-income family and their parents are in receipt of benefits (one or more), for example, Child Tax Credit and Income Support;
• Have been adopted from care;
• Have left care through special guardianship;
• Have been looked after by the local authority for at least the span of 1 day;
• Are subject to a child arrangement order.

If your child is aged 3 years but not yet in receipt of NEF funding, you can apply online by clicking on this link.
