Early Years SEN Funding for Individual Children

Early Years Special Educational Needs Panel funding is for children with very complex needs. It enables us to fund additional adult support for part of or all of a child's nursery session depending on their level of need.

The funding:

• goes directly to the setting where the child is registered
• transfers with the child when they move to a different setting
• can be shared across each setting if the child goes to more than one place while taking up the 15 hours of funded entitlement
• is extended to cover additional hours for three and four year olds if parents are eligible to claim for a further 15 hours of additional funded entitlement
• is extended to cover additional hours if parents are paying for childcare
