Early Years Hourly Rates as of April 2025

Following receipt of additional early years expansion grant funding, we're increasing our 9M and 2YO hourly funding rates even further from the start of the Summer term 2025.

 

The new hourly rates that come into effect from the start of April 2025, are as follows...

 

 

Funding type                                       Hourly Rate

9M – 2YO                                           £9.52 (includes an additional 10p base uplift, plus 17p grant uplift)

2YO                                                     £7.28 (includes 13p grant uplift)

3&4YO                                                £5.42*

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)    £1

Disability Access Fund (DAF)           £938 (per annum)

 

 

*It's hoped that there will be an increase to the 3&4YO hourly funding rate from the start of September 2025, however we don't have any further details to share on this at the moment.
