Parent Information: Early Years Pupil Premium

Calendar

EYFS

The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) gives early education and childcare providers extra funding to support eligible 9-23 months, 2 and 3 & 4-year-olds.

Providers are paid pupil premium at the rate of £1 per hour for 9-23 months, 2, 3, and 4-year-old children. Funding can be claimed for eligible children attending up to 15 hours per week (the pupil premium cannot be applied to the extended working parent entitlement hours that a 3—and 4-year-old may be receiving).

Deprivation supplement
Providers receiving EYPP at £1 per hour will receive an additional 47p per hour deprivation supplement making the total additional hourly rate the children attract £1.47 per hour. The deprivation supplement will also be applied to the additional entitlement so any hours over 15 for a 3 and 4 year-old will now attract 47p per hour.

Children will not need to access the full entitlement to be eligible for EYPP; providers will be paid on a pro-rata basis.

Eligibility
9-23 months, 2 and 3 & 4-year-olds in funded early education will be eligible for EYPP funding if the family meet at least one of the following criteria:
The family gets one of the following:

They have been in local-authority care for one day or more in England or Wales.
