Dear Service Provider,
The Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme is now open for the 2026/2027 programme year.
Please ensure you have activated your ECCE 2026/2027 funding agreement.
We would also like to remind you that NCS subsidies cannot be claimed for hours that a child is in ECCE.
You can find guidance and documentation on the Early Years Hive to support you with ECCE.
Regards,
The Early Years Team
