To approve
• the proposed methodology for the funding of early years
providers in the Autumn Term 2020 as based on DfE guidance.
• The deployment of additional local financial support to the
early years sector within North Yorkshire in response to the Covid
pandemic
based on the consultation feedback and early years’ provider
suggestions in terms of the support (non-financial or financial)
they require.
The provision and allocation methodology of any additional
financial support to the early years sector will be as deemed
appropriate in response to the local context of the impact of the
pandemic and will be offered within the constraints of the
available funding.
The recommendations have been endorsed by early years’
providers through a county-wide consultation and considered by the
Schools Forum.
