b. With early years providers within North Yorkshire on
• The early years provider base funding rates for 3 and 4 year
olds (universal and extended entitlement) and disadvantaged 2 year
olds for 2023/24
The Department for Education (DfE) have
provided information in July 2022 on indicative funding levels and
funding formula changes for the DSG Schools Block, High Needs Block
and Central School Services Block for 2023/24. It is envisaged that
similar indicative funding information will be provided for the
2023/24 Early Years Block in late Autumn 2022.
The determination of budgets from the DSG funding sources for
mainstream schools and early years’ providers require local
decisions, and associated consultation, to be undertaken on the
funding formula elements in respect of the level of the MFG and
early years’ provider base funding rates. In addition, in
previous years, mainstream schools and academies have been invited
to provide their views on the methodology to be used for the
allocation to school budgets of any surplus funding available after
the application of the NFF factor values in the North Yorkshire
funding formula.
