Methodology and operational guidance
The early years teachers’ pay additional grant (EY TPAG) methodology and operational guidance explains how EY TPAG rates have been calculated, and how funding is distributed to local authorities. This guidance is supported by accompanying step-by-step tables.
Conditions of grant
EY TPAG is to support early years providers who are delivering the government’s early years entitlements with increased teacher workforce costs, for the period September 2023 to March 2024. EY TPAG is subject to conditions of grant.
