DfE form to help providers check EYPP eligibility

The Government has published a template form and letter for providers to use to identify children eligible for the Early Years Pupil Premium.

Under the EYPP, coming into force in April, early years settings will be able to claim an additional 53p an hour for every disadvantaged three- and four-year-old in their care eligible for the funding.

The publication of the model form and letter follows concerns from early years providers about how they will communicate the importance of the extra money to parents and encourage them to find out if their children are eligible.

The form asks for parents’ contact details, National Insurance number, information about their family income and details of any benefits they receive.
