This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Early Years Team, for the attention of all Early Years and Childcare Practitioners.
The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) has one aim: to improve outcomes for socio-economically disadvantaged children from 9 months upwards. In April 2025, the Department for Education (DfE) increased funding for the EYPP by 45% to £570 per child per year.
A child’s family income shouldn’t be a barrier to their achievement and wellbeing in the early years. Early years settings (including childminders, nurseries and schools) can use this increased funding to help every child to flourish.
