End of the first consultation stage

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate in the first stage of this consultation. This stage of the consultation is now closed. The briefing document and Payment Schedule Modelling Tool will continue to be available.

What happens next?

The Early Years Funding Team will analyse your responses and aim to report back in September, both here and via our weekly newsletter. There will then be an opportunity to further share your views as part of the second consultation stage, which we are aiming to begin in October. This second consultation will provide more specific options taking into account your initial feedback and should provide you with a clearer picture of what payment options will be available to you and give another opportunity for you to feedback.
