eypp help

[AnonyMouse_19920]

i am really struggling with a way to show what i am using my eypp money on and for which children and why.

does anyone have a form that they use they would be willing to share please?

thank you :0)

Sorry. Not got that far. Don't even know which children will be eligible and we wont get any money til Sept! We can't afford to spend the money until it has been received. Good luck with your quest.

Cant help either. We have just today received money for four children. But as we applied for 6 have no idea which ones have got it. I did ask our LA but was told We will not be breaking down the EYPP by child as it is not to be allocated by child, but is a lump sum to be used to enhance your provision for all children.

 

Which to be honest is much easier for us.

[AnonyMouse_7120]

That would be easier .....but I thought the idea of it was to 'narrow the gap' for children in receipt of it and to evidence that but how are you supposed to do that if you don't even know who it's for ?

[AnonyMouse_39998]

we got our list of who its for and to be quite frank, we were shocked at some of the children who are receiving it! no gap to narrow for them! so it will be a challenge, 7 of them leave for reception! had our first discussion and have come up with a few ideas on how to use the funding, how exactly I can monitor the impact on the spending is an unknown! most of the others who are getting the funding have home life issues so will be using resources for emotional support and other PSED. I think we are all in the same boat with this.

did my tracker today....feel free to use it, lets hope Ofsted approve, will be printing one off for each of our eligible children and filling it out as we go, will be keeping receipts and photographic evidence of items purchased in a folder with all the trackers.

Hi twinthing, mine is basically the same but on an excel spreadsheet just for ease of adding how much is spent. We have 3 children entitled to EYPP and one who is adopted who is entitled but we are waiting for payment.

Thank you twinthinguk, very user friendly!

In essex we can see which child was eligible against our applications as they have added a column in the portal we use for funding ,it does not show those that applied have been given it .

thank you twinthinguk - we have received a list of 9 children who are eligible and the amount each child will/has received - usually £103 something for the whole term as they take 15 funded hours. so i have just over £14 per week to say what i am doing - like others some of these children do not have any real needs -they are going to school - any suggestions ?

could it be spent on transitions - staff accompanying children to their respective schools? Choosing a going to school transition present - a pe bag with goodies in? are there any videos about starting school you could buy and show them? It's hard to know what to do with the money especially in a short space of time.
