Funding cannot be claimed until a Parent Declaration (PD) form has been completed and signed by either the parents or the child's legal guardian.
The Provider must explain to the parent/carer the claiming procedure, what FE their child is entitled to and how they can access this. Please ensure both the Provider and the parent/carer read and understand the conditions included on the form before signing.
The Parent Declaration form should be completed on a termly basis. There are two types of Provider Declaration forms: the Universal 15 hours form and the Extended 30 hours form. Please click on the links below to access the declaration forms.

EYPP can be claimed for 3 and 4 year olds and aims to support providers to bridge the gap between the most and least advantaged children and their readiness for school. All providers delivering funded early education and childcare places will be eligible to receive the EYPP.
There will be approximately £300 additional funding for each eligible child. In order to see whether a child has been allocated EYPP on the provider portal, a weighting will have been applied with a code of 002.
The EYPP can be claimed by an Early Year’s provider if a 3 or 4 year old is accessing a funded early education and childcare place at their setting and the child’s parent /carer receives one of the following benefits:
Or the child falls into one of the following groups:

The Disability Access Funding (DAF) is a small amount of additional funding available to support access for three and four year olds with disabilities in early years settings. A sum of £615 per year is to be used to improve access and inclusion. The funding could be used to purchase specialist equipment or training to support children in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA). You can request an application from earlyyearsfunding@york.gov.uk.
To support the LA in their statutory duty to ensure sufficient early years and childcare places, we ask all childcare providers to complete their sufficiency data on the Provider Portal on a termly basis. You will be able to indicate the number of places you offer across each of the proposed age ranges and also the number of vacanies you hold for each age range. The data you provide will only be used to inform the Local Authority and will not be made directly available to families but may be used to give an indication of the level of availability in the local area.
For guidance on how to submit your sufficiency data please see the following document:
