The DfE is consulting on proposals to change the way it funds free childcare and early years education including a new national funding formula.
The proposals include:
- introducing a new early years national funding formula for 3- and 4-year-olds
- changing the way local authorities fund the early years providers in their area
- making sure that children with special educational needs or disabilities attract the extra funding they need
The consultation closes on 22 September 2016.
