Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) Payments
Payments are made to registered providers for the children who are in attendance and entitled to free early years education.
EYPP payments are calculated automatically for children who are eligible (but not if there is a Looked After Child (LAC) assessment). The payment is based on the correct EYPP Single Funded Formula rate for the payment period and the calculated funded hours. This includes where the payment for funded hours is shared between providers or services.
The Generate Payments routine uses the history of pupil premium checks to determine whether or not a child is eligible and, if eligible, the rate at which the child will be paid.
If the Funding Basis or Check Result is changed during a term, the EYPP supplement is added or removed.
The Generate Payments routine pays the additional supplement for newly eligible children in the adjustment payment.
Payment Types
There are four standard (seeded) payment types for each payment period, DAF (Disability Access Fund), INT (Interim), ACT (Actual) and ADJ (Adjustment).
Interim payments are made to providers based on their estimated headcount. The percentage of the interim payment made is defined when the payment period is set up.
Actual payments are made to providers based on their actual headcount.
In addition a seeded payment type of MINT (Manual Interim) enables this type of manual payment to be entered against an individual funded service.
Non-seeded payment types can be set up by a Local Authority in order to make ad-hoc manual payments to individual funded services.
Generated payments can be viewed for a particular payment period and for one or more age groups.
Refer to One Early Years Setup regarding defining Payment Periods and Payment Setup Options.
