The final Code of Practice for a flexible Free Early Years Entitlement will determine how you deliver flexibility and will influence the agreement between you, as a provider, and your local authority, over the allocation of extra funding for quality.

For example, do you agree that your local authority should use the Early Years Quality Improvement Support Programme (EYQISP) to make funding decisions? The consultation process promotes this approach, but some nurseries will not yet be familiar with EYQISP and will need to share what approach they think would be best for them locally.
