  • EYPP Funding

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

    Eligibility

    3- and 4-year-olds in state-funded early education will attract EYPP funding if they meet at least 1 of the following criteria:

    • Their family gets 1 of the following:
    • Income Support
    • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance 
    • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance 
    • Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 
    • The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit 
    • Child Tax Credit (provided they’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
    • Working Tax Credit run-on, which is paid for 4 weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
    • Universal Credit


    They are currently being looked after by a local authority in England or Wales.

    They have left care in England or Wales through: 

    • An adoption
    • a special guardianship order
    • a child arrangement order

    We work with families in receipt of EYPP to identify how the additional funding can be utilised at our nurseries.

  • Testimonials

  • My son is extremely happy at Bluebell Barn. He is always being given a wide range of activities which help all areas of his development (this also means I don't have to worry about doing so much messy craft at home!). The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and really seem to know him. There are frequent observations uploaded to his eyLog which mean I can see what he's been doing. He always eats all the food provided so I assume it is good!
