Nursery World - New scheme looks at how best to use EYPP

A new project to help settings and schools make the best use of
their Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) funding has been launched by Early Education.

The aim of the Learning Together About Learning Project is to help early years providers find creative and effective ways to use the EYPP, and to make it easier for settings to come together to share their expertise.

Under the EYPP, introduced in April, early years settings can claim an additional 53p an hour for every disadvantaged three and four-year-old in their care who qualifies for the funding.

The project, being funded by money awarded to Early Education through the Department for Education's Voluntary and Community Sector Grants programme, is in reaction to concerns from the sector about how to use the EYPP effectively.
