Details

The guidance is for:

  • local authorities
  • early years providers
  • schools

It relates to all local authorities that fund early years provision in England.

Conditions of grant

This guidance sets out the key principles of the grant and the supplementary funding to local authorities through the Early Years Supplementary Grant (EYSG). The EYSG is to increase the hourly amounts paid to local authorities, so that they can increase the amount of funding early years childcare providers receive for delivering the entitlements for the period September 2023 to March 2024 for the financial year 2023 to 2024. The conditions of grant are expected to be published in September 2023.

Methodology

This guidance will help local authorities and early years providers understand how the EYSG is calculated for September 2023 to March 2024 and how this will be paid to local authorities.

Allocations

The EYSG allocations for each local authority are expected to be published in September 2023.
