From October 2026, the local authorities must pay early education funding, on a monthly basis, to any early years' providers who request it. We are in discussion with our school's finance team and Synergy support team to explore the process to manage this change and we would like to understand how many providers would want to move from the current termly payment process to being paid monthly. This is just an initial request for feedback and will not change the way you currently receive your payments. We are still looking at the finer details so are not able to provide further information at this point.
