Pinvin Community Preschool
Nursery Education Funding
Nursery Education Funding
All 3 and 4-year-old children, as well as some 2-year-old children, are entitled to 15 hours of free early education and childcare per week, for 38 weeks of the year. Some 3 and 4-year-old children are also entitled to an additional 15 hours per week.
Pupil Premium
The aim of the Early Years Pupil Premium is to close the gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers by providing additional funding to Early years settings, therefore providing the opportunity to raise the quality of provision we offer.
Eligibility
All children aged three and four (not two-year olds), who meet the eligibility criteria will benefit from the funding. The Early Years Pupil Premium provides an extra 53 pence per hour on top of the Free Entitlement for three and four-year-old children whose parents are in receipt of certain benefits or who have been in care or adopted from care. This means an extra £302 a year for each child taking up the full 570 hours funded entitlement to early education. In order to be able to claim this funding we require parents to sign the funding agreement which asks for details of parent’s date of birth and National Insurance number.
Pupil premium expenditure
As an Early Years setting we have the freedom to choose how we spend the money to best support disadvantaged children in our care. Our pre-school will endeavour to find the best possible way to spend the money through identifying the needs of the child and discussing with parents how the money may be best spent.
Making a difference
As a setting we are committed to making a difference in children and families lives. We review all pupil premium expenditure on a on-going basis involving the parents along the way to ensure the most effective use of the funding to have maximum benefit to the child.
