Local authorities are required to consult with Early Years providers on annual changes to their local formula, which are then agreed with our School Forum.

The purpose of this consultation is to seek the views, comments and where applicable, preferred options from key partners and stakeholders on arrangements of the Early Years block funding arrangements for 2024-25.
