answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2018 answer text <p>We introduced the Early Years National Funding Formula (EYNFF) in April 2017 to allocate government funding for the three-and four-year-old entitlement in a fair and transparent manner. We have been clear that getting the funding right is critical to the successful delivery of our entitlements for three-and four-year-olds. So, we have committed to keep under review the data underpinning the EYNFF and we continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts of our free entitlements and funding arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 20/06/2018 16:33:07 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
