Are you eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium?

Taken from Bucks Early Years website: https://earlyyears.buckscc.gov.uk/early-years-2-3-4-year-old-funding/early-years-pupil-premium-eypp/

The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is additional funding for Early Years providers to help them improve the education they provide for disadvantaged 3 and 4 year-olds. 

The parental income threshold has recently changed following the
Eligibility for free school meals, the early years pupil premium and the free early education entitlement for two-year-olds under universal credit consultation published in March 2018. 

Children whose parents/carers receive one of the following benefits will generate EYPP for their childcare provider:

• Income Support (IS)
• Income - based (not contribution-based) Job Seeker's Allowance (IBJAS)
• The Guarantee element of the State Pension Credit 
• Income-related employment and support allowance or financially supported by NASS (National Asylum Support Service)
• Universal credit – their annual net earned income must be equivalent to and not exceeding £7,400, assessed on up to three of the parent’s most recent Universal Credit assessment periods
• Child tax credit - except if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • Entitled to working tax credit (regardless of income)
  • Have an annual income in excess of £16,190

Where a parent is entitled to Working Tax Credit during the four-week period immediately after their employment ceases, or after they start to work less than 16 hours per week, their children are entitled to EYPP

Or the child has:

• Been in local-authority care for 1 day or more in England or Wales.
• Been adopted from care in England or Wales
• Left care under a special guardianship order or residence order in England or Wales
