About the Early Years Provider Portal
We manage the early education funding process via the Early Years Provider Portal.
The Early Years Provider Portal is a self-service facility that can be used by all early years providers to submit their headcount information to us. This is an efficient and secure way of collecting pupil information.
If you're using the portal for the first time, you can refer to the early years provider portal headcount (PDF 489Kb). This is a summary of the funding process.
For more information on the Early Years education entitlements, you can visit our early years and childcare webpages.
