What is it and how much can we get?
The early years pupil premium (EYPP) is extra funding that local authorities (LAs) give early years providers to support disadvantaged children aged 3 and 4.
If your setting is eligible (see below), for the 2023-24 financial year, you'll receive 62p per hour per eligible pupil, up to 570 hours – so up to £353 per year, per pupil.

Your setting qualifies for the EYPP if it's eligible to receive funding for the 3 and 4-year-old early education entitlement.
