Early Years Education Funding

Early Years Education funding is provided by Central Government through the Dedicated Schools Grant. Decisions are made through the Schools Forum regarding implementing statutory guidance and funding formulas.

Early Years has four representatives on the Schools Forum.

Once you are registered to provide childcare with Ofsted, Independent Schools Inspectorate or Childminder Agency, the next step is to consider the benefits of being approved in Hampshire to deliver the Early Years Education funding for eligible children.
