Investing EYPP wisely; spotlighting a 4-step balanced approach

The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) has one aim: to improve outcomes for socio-economically disadvantaged children from 9 months upwards.

From April 2025, the DfE increased funding for the EYPP by 45% to £570 per child per year. EY providers are presented with a valuable opportunity to narrow the learning garp and ensure that a child’s family income isn’t a barrier to their achievement and wellbeing in the early years.
