Early Years Funding Formula Consultation Autumn 2020
The Local Authority is consulting with early years providers via an online survey to gather views on different funding options for the funding formula for the 2021-22 financial year.
The formula used to determine the amount paid to Early Years providers for funded parental entitlements for 2-, 3- and 4-year olds has been in place since the introduction of the Early Years National Funding Formula in April 2017.
Therefore, the Local Authority, Norfolk County Council (NCC), has been looking at what we can do to change the way we calculate these payments for early education within the current dedicated schools grant allocation received for Norfolk to meet local need and priorities.
The outcome of this consultation will inform the approach Norfolk County Council takes to setting the formula for distributing Early Years Funding from April 2021.
To view the proposals and technical papers, please visit the Early Years Local Funding Formula page on the Norfolk Schools website or to open the survey, click on this link.
The survey will be available from Monday 5 October to Monday 26 October.
A collation of the feedback will be provided to Schools Forum on 13 November.
