Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will announce today (18 March) a new Early Years Pupil Premium, which will see £50 million invested in 2015-16 to give early years providers delivering the early education places more support to help children from the most disadvantaged backgrounds.
More details about the Pupil Premium for three- and four-year-olds will be released by the Department for Education.
The extension of the Pupil Premium is one of a number of measures being announced by Government to provide more support to children from disadvantaged backgrounds and help millions of parents go out to work.
