Description
Who is this funding for?
Most children can have any additional needs met through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, high quality early years practice and through additional intervention and differentiation organised by the setting.
Settings can get advice and support for children who need extra help from specialist teams including the Area SENCos and Speech and Language Therapy Service.
The Early Years Inclusion Funding is a budget to provide support for children aged 3 or 4 years old who have low level or emerging special educational needs or disability (SEND) and because of these require more support.
