Your Indicative Budget report is now available to view via the Online Provider Portal (OPP). The report contains the Early Years Funded Entitlement estimate for your setting in 2024/25, and is based on the new hourly rates which apply from Summer term 2024.
As you are aware, from April 2024 the new working families entitlement for 2 year olds will be launched nationally and for 9 month olds from September 2024. At this stage, we cannot accurately predict take-up within your setting, and we encourage you to make your own assessments for 2024/25. However, this year we have included an average hourly rate for your 3 and 4 year olds which takes into account the Early Years Pupil Premium and Deprivation payments made in the 2023/24 financial year.
How do I access my indicative budget?
To keep your financial data secure, you can only access your personalised indicative budget via the secure OPP. To run your report, please follow the steps in the Help guide.
Please note, your Indicative budget report is only populated if you have had funded children in the 2023/24 financial year.
If you have any queries, please email free.entitlement@westsussex.gov.uk.
