Dear Parents/Carers

In April 2015 a new funding initiative called Early Years Pupil Premium was introduced to allow nurseries to further support children¹s development, learning and care for those that are eligible. This additional funding is not for parents to top up their existing funding but it is given directly to the nursery to enhance and provide additional support and resources if required. This funding is only available to 3 and 4 year olds and you must be receiving one of the following:

• Income support
• Income-based job seekers allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Universal credit
• Support from NASS (National Asylum Support Service) under part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guarantee element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (with no Working Tax Credit) with an annual income of no more than £16,190
• Working Tax Credit run-on

If you believe you may be entitled can you please can you email funding@little-learners.net immediately so that we can check your eligibility.

Kind regards
