The purpose of EYPP is to improve the educational outcomes of socio-economically disadvantaged children who are eligible for free early years entitlements in an early years setting.
Local authorities are responsible for paying EYPP to early years settings. Most require a parent or carer to inform them if they think their child is eligible. Local authorities are responsible for checking eligibility and should use the eligibility checking service to do this.
If your child attends any of the following childcare settings they can claim this extra funding to support your child's needs in their setting:
- childminder
- childcare on domestic premises
- pre school/playgroup
- day nursery
- nursery class or sessions at a school
- nursery school.
