Early Years Entitlement Funding – Monthly Payments from Spring 2024

With the introduction of the new entitlements from April 2024, more funding will be claimed each term and we are therefore planning to move to monthly payments from Spring Term 2024.

We will be running a trial in Autumn Term with a small number of providers to finalise the details and if everything goes to plan implementation will be from January 2024.

We are not proposing any changes to the way in which pupil data is collected and will continue with the Headcount and Amendment Tasks for each funding period.

This does not apply to Devon Schools who have maintained nursery classes or governor run provision. Your payments will be made in the normal way.

We will keep you updated in the Autumn Term with our plans and if you have any feedback, please do let us know.
