Early Years Funding - Information for childcare providers
Early Years Funding has to be claimed by childcare providers on-line via our funding system. If you would like to claim funding, you can request to be set up via emailing: EY.Funding@n-somerset.gov.uk Please note we do not backdate funding.
Within the system you will be able to:
- Check HMRC eligibility codes.
- Make regular claims for payment from the Local Authority for the funded hours of childcare that you deliver under these schemes.
Please note the link for parents to apply for vulnerable two year old funding is: two year old funding.
