Children must receive free early education in order to attract EYPP funding. They do not have to take up the full 570 hours of early education they are entitled to in order to get EYPP.
The aim of the EYPP funding is to close the gap between children who are referred to as ‘disadvantaged’ by the government and other children by having some additional funding to raise further the quality of provision we offer.
