The checking process
For the local authority to check eligibility for EYPP providers must submit estimate and actual headcounts through the provider portal, as per the Provider Agreement. Providers should make sure:
- all parental declaration forms are fully complete
- thereby ensuring that settings have consent to share information with the local authority
- enabling appropriate eligibility checks to be made.
Where a child is eligible for EYPP under the ‘other’ criteria listed below, the provider should make Slough Early Years Service aware of the child’s specific circumstances and make sure that appropriate details are recorded on the Parent Declaration Form.
