We want our children to achieve the best possible educational outcomes. For some children extra support or resources may be required and there are a number of other funding options that can be accessed by us.
The EYPP is a premium available to childcare providers for children accessing their free three and four year entitlement.

As a fully inclusive setting we welcome all children but recognise that sometimes children may require a higher level of support or specialist equipment to be able to access the education alongside their peers.
We have the opportunity to apply for additional funding from the Local Authority that can further the support of children with special educational needs or disabilities.
The funding is paid directly to the setting. Further details on the funding can be found here.
From April 2017, the Government has introduced a new funding measure for early years providers, the Disability Access Fund (DAF), to support children with disabilities to access childcare and early education.
Three and Four year olds will be eligible for the DAF if they meet the following criteria:
The providers taking three- and four-year-olds that are eligible for the DAF will be entitled to receive a one-off payment of £615 per year.
The DAF is not based on an hourly rate and is an additional entitlement.
Where a child lives in one authority area but attends a provider in a different local authority, the provider’s local authority is responsible for funding the DAF for the child and eligibility checking.
Healthy snacks are provided to children throughout sessions. Parents are invited to make a suggested contribution of £3 per week towards the cost of providing these. Children will not be treated differently according to whether or not their parents have made any contribution or not.
Centre Trips are outings with Family Workers to local areas of interest or family outings where parents are encouraged to accompany their children and join in the learning experience.
Parents may be asked for a contribution to cover some of the cost for their children. Parents will cover the cost of their own transport and activities/entrance fees on these days.
