Early Years Pupil Premium

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) provides nurseries, pre-schools, and childminders with extra funding to support children to achieve the best early years outcomes.

EYPP is an additional hourly amount paid to the provider based on the number of early years education (EYE) funding hours claimed, up to 570 hours per year, for eligible children. EYPP should be used to support the development, learning and care of children in an early year’s provision.

Eligibility

EYPP is determined by the benefits a family is receiving, or if the child is looked after by a local authority; for full details of the eligibility criteria see the Get extra funding for your early years provider - GOV.UK webpage.

EYPP includes eligible children from 9 months up to attending school for up to 570 hours per funding year.

For 2 year old children eligible for both the Working Families Entitlement and Early Learning for 2-Year-Olds funding, EYPP will be paid on the Early Learning for 2-Year-Olds funding only.

The national hourly rate is set in the Early Years National Funding Formula.
