The resource on the Department for Education’s website enables nurseries and childminders to view early years funding by area, alongside take-up of three- and four-year-old places, and children’s outcomes from the EYFS profile data.
It also provides a breakdown to show the percentage of private, voluntary and independent settings offering the funded places that employ staff with Early Years Professional Status or Qualified Teacher Status.
The Department is also publishing for the first time an ‘early years proforma’ for each local authority based on the same Section 52 returns as the early years benchmarking tool, that shows projected early years spend for 2013-14.
