The department recognises that Maintained Nursery Schools make a valuable contribution to improving the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children, which is why we have announced we will be investing an additional £10 million into Maintained Nursery School supplementary funding from the 2023/24 financial year.


Over the course of summer 2022, the department consulted on proposals to update the early years funding formulae to ensure the funding system remains fair, effective and responsive to changing levels of need across different areas. The department will set out our response in due course.
