EYEE when does it end?

Hi,

I thought the EYEE stops when your child goes to school but my sister says it continues until they turn 5. My DD starts school in September and will be 5 in February so she reckons it will continue until December. Could someone advise please?

Thanks

So none of us know what it is then lol

Apparently its Early Years Education Entitlement. You won't need it once she starts school as long as it is a state school - check with your local education authority (actually the web site I found it on is East Susses!!! - type Eyee into google!)

Early year educational entitlement, (i think) its the government funding for the 2 & 1/2 hours a day at nursery

all 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to there 2 and a half hours per day and it stops when they start school, or possibly at the end of the school term when summer holidays start?

I didn't know what EYEE was either! you learn something new every day!
Does anyone know if this is taken in to account when calculating your tax credits entitlement (i.e. deducted?!) - just thinking of an OP with an issue on another board
