answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>Under our new Early Years National Funding Formula (EYNFF) arrangements, local authorities are required to pass 93% of their Government funding to early years providers in 2017-18, so that they can deliver the national early years entitlements on a fair and sustainable basis.</p><p> </p><p>The Government response to the EYNFF consultation recognised that this might cause difficulties for some local authorities who have chosen to offer discretionary hours, above the core statutory entitlement, to disadvantaged children. That is why we set out a disapplication process, whereby local authorities can request some flexibility around the 93% requirement.</p><p> </p><p>Five local authorities have been granted such a disapplication in 2017-18. We do not therefore expect any local authorities to have to stop funding these discretionary hours in September 2017 as a result of our funding reforms.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 03/07/2017 16:32:47 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
