Early Years Inclusion Fund - Info for Providers and Parents

This Early Years Inclusion Fund (EYIF) is for 2- and 3- and 4- year-olds who are taking up their Early Years funded entitlement. This fund is available to ensure the inclusion of children with emerging needs in early education. 

All early years' providers who receive funding for the 2- 3- and 4-year-old early education entitlement are also eligible to receive support from the inclusion fund. 

Please see the downloadable documents in the right sidebar (or below on mobile). Complete Form A for each individual child, and remember to provide a fully completed Form B for all children you wish to apply for.

The maximum amount that can be applied for per child:

• For 2-year-olds: £2000 per term
• For 3- and 4-year-olds: £1000 per term (please note, the EYIF / SENIF is not available for children in reception classes)

An application form needs to be completed and submitted every term.
Please send applications to: eyif@wandsworth.gov.uk

 * For children who were in receipt of this inclusion fund in the summer 2021 ONLY

Please note: funding cannot be agreed retrospectively 

Under the Equality Act 2010, providers in receipt of Government Funding are expected to make “reasonable adjustments” and not to “treat children less favourably” by reason of disability. There is an expectation that settings are planning for children’s individual needs in line with EYFS requirements.
