Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDED4).

 

The Early Years Funding formula has changed considerably from previous years reflecting new guidance and regulations published by the DfE. This report seeks approval of the County Council’s funding formula. Responses from consultation with Early Years providers and School Forum are reflected in the proposal.

 

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the Early Years funding formula for 2017/18. This includes an hourly rate of £4.01, a deprivation supplement of £200k and an SEN inclusion fund of £600k.
