Sources of income for early years providers
There are a number of additional sources of funding available that you can use to support individual children and raise the quality of childcare that you offer:
- Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) - is additional funding provided to early years providers to improve the education and support for disadvantaged children aged 9 months to 4 years who are receiving government-funded childcare.
- Disability Access Fund (DAF) - helps improve access to early years places by supporting providers in making reasonable adjustments to their settings or increasing their capacity. Funding can be used either for the specific child with disabilities or for the benefit of all children attending the setting.
- Special educational needs inclusion funding
- Grants, loans and business support
