Early Years Funding Formulae

The Department for Education is addressing how government funding formulae for early years settings (nurseries, pre-schools) are calculated and distributed, with concerns that current rates do not adequately cover staffing costs or support provider sustainability and year-round operations. The issue encompasses funding adequacy for two and three-year-old provision, financial accessibility for families, and simplification of the childcare application process. The department has launched a consultation on reforms to the early years funding system.
