•   Universal Credit

EYPP

How EYPP will help your child

It will help your child to have extra equipment and resources eg. this could include additional training for staff on early language.

Your childcare provider will have to demonstrate to Ofsted how they have used the funds to improve the education of children receiving the EYPP.

When are you eligible for EYPP

Your child will be eligible from the term after their 3rd birthday (the same as when they can get the 3 and 4 year old free early education).

What if my child goers to more than one setting

The setting (preschool, nursery or childminder) will claim EYPP in proportion to the number of hours the child is with them.
