Early Years Pupil Premium

What is EYPP?

Early years pupil premium (EYPP) is additional funding for early years settings to improve the education they provide for disadvantaged 3 and 4 year-olds.

Early years providers are any organisation that offers education for children under the age of 5, including nurseries, children’s centres, pre-schools and childminders.

The virtual school head should be involved in identifying and funding the EYPP for looked after children in Leeds.

Who is eligible for EYPP?

Children must receive Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) in order to attract EYPP funding. They do not have to take up the full 570 hours of FEEE they are entitled to in order to get EYPP.

Childcare providers should collect parent's national insurance numbers, parent's date of birth and parent's surname with consent. This then enables them to confirm if a child is eligible for the EYPP, and they will receive a monetary supplement to support this child.

Please note that 4-year-olds in primary school reception classes who already receive the school-age pupil premium are not eligible for EYPP funding.
