We asked for views on proposed updates to the early years funding formulae and reforms to maintained nursery school supplementary funding.
The majority of respondents agreed with almost all of the proposals set out in the consultation.
We have therefore updated the datasets in line with our proposals – with a couple of minor exceptions, and made the technical amendments. The revised formulae have been used to determine the early years entitlements hourly funding rates for 2023-24.
We are seeking views on proposed updates to the early years funding formulae, and maintained nursery school supplementary funding.
We are proposing to update the funding formulae for the early education entitlements for children aged 2, 3 and 4. These formulae are no longer using the most recent data available. Using up-to-date data will help to ensure the funding system remains fair, effective, and responsive to changing levels of need.
We are also proposing reforms to create a fairer distribution of maintained nursery school supplementary funding.
We will issue the Government’s response and confirm the final hourly funding rates for local authorities for 2023-24 in Autumn 2022.
