This was a supporting detail page of the main policy document.
The early years pupil premium (EYPP) gives providers of early years education extra funding to support disadvantaged 3- and 4-year-olds. Early years providers are any organisation that offers education for children aged under 5, including nurseries and childminders. We will introduce the premium in April 2015. In the financial year 2015 to 2016, we will spend £50 million on the EYPP. Early years providers will have to use this extra funding to improve the quality of education for disadvantaged children. Ofsted inspections will report on whether providers spend their EYPP funding effectively. More information about the EYPP, including details of which children are eligible, is available. Local authorities who are introducing EYPP early We are running a trial of the EYPP with 7 local authorities from January to March 2015. Their feedback will help us make sure the EYPP system works before we introduce it fully in April 2015. The 7 local authority areas, and the funding they have received to trial EYPP, are:
Blackpool (£76,745)
Bristol (£197,591)
Cambridgeshire (£132,979)
Hackney (191,543)
Northamptonshire (£201,655)
North Yorkshire (£100,567)
