| As previously communicated, the first stage of Programme Readiness 2022/23 for ECCE, NCS and CCSP Saver programmes was open for services on the Early Years Hive on 27 May 2022. Since that date, services have been able to complete programme readiness tasks including fees lists and service calendars, as well as activate programme Funding Agreements. Please see the below important dates where tasks must be completed by for each programme to avoid impact on payments. Further information on preliminary payments for CCSP Saver Programme and ECCE will be communicated at a later date. |
