From April 2015 disadvantaged three and four year olds in early years settings in England became eligible for extra funding in the form of the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP). We use this funding (an extra – 53p an hour, to a maximum of £302.10 a year) to run at higher staffing ratios, enabling us to give children more 1:1 time with an adult.
In general, children who would be eligible for free school meals later on are eligible for the EYPP at age three and four.
If you think that your child may be eligible for EYPP please speak to Fiorin.
