Early Years Pupil Premium
Does your child go to a childcare provider like a nursery, pre school or childminder? Are they 3 or 4 years old and receiving Funded early education and childcare?
If so, The Howard Nursery as your childcare provider may be able to get extra funding so we can provide even more to support your child. This may be through specialist training for our staff or new experiences for the children.
The funding is called Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) and is paid directly to childcare providers.
