  • your child is attending and receiving two year-old funding under the receiving certain benefits criteria at an early years setting in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole in the summer term.   
  • your child is getting three and four year old funding at an early years setting in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole in the summer term and currently in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium funding. Please note:  this is not the early education funding to which all three and four year olds are entitled and there are certain criteria which you will need meet.
