Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he plans to review his policy on the early years national funding formula.
We introduced the Early Years National Funding Formula (EYNFF) in April 2017 to allocate government funding for the three-and four-year-old entitlement in a fair and transparent manner. We have been clear that getting the funding right is critical to the successful delivery of our entitlements for three-and four-year-olds. So, we have committed to keep under review the data underpinning the EYNFF and we continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts of our free entitlements and funding arrangements.
