Supporting EY settings to make best use of Early Years Pupil Premium: (EYPP)

To ensure EYPP funding is spent on activities that meet the objective of improving outcomes for socio-economically disadvantaged children, early years settings should plan their spending based on well-evidenced approaches and interventions, alongside knowledge of the context and needs of children at the setting. 

The EEF Guide offers step-by-step guidance on how to spend EYPP effectively. It also recommends a range of spending choices, in line with evidence, on approaches to improving outcomes for disadvantaged children. The guide recommends that settings take a balanced approach, using EYPP to:

  • develop quality practice
  • tailor personalised support
  • lead, plan and sustain a strategy

Alongside recommendations for spending across the components of the balanced approach, the EEF Guide offers practical examples of what these recommendations could look like in action.
