Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) PURPOSE To improve the learning, development and outcomes of our most needy children. • Additional funding for qualifying parents to apply for. • To improve the quality of the provision their child attends. WHY? - research shows that children who claimed ‘free school meals’ did less well than those who did not.

Foundation Years website has a Guidance for Providers. EYPP eligible children in Hampshire = 2,349 This means at least £676,000 is available to claim (Government data)

7. Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) Need to ensure money is spent to improve outcomes for children and EYPP children are making better progress • Data analysis - to identify aspects of children’s development that is delayed/needs improving • Observation, assessment and planning – to be clearly link to identified developments needed • Tracking progress - to show children’s developments are rapidly improving and they are no longer at risk of delay • Expected progress is making 6 months developmental progress in 6 calendar months. • Better than expected progress will be making 8 months or more developmental progress in 6 calendar months.

8. Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) Activity How do you analyse your children’s tracking progress data? • Do you know individual children’s strengths and areas for development and if they are age appropriate? • Do you know which areas of learning are needing additional attention or which groups of children are making good/poor progress? Discuss in small groups how this will help you identify how to spend your EYPP money.

9. Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) Needs to be spent on interventions known to make a difference, as proven by research • CPD - training • Buying in expertise • Speech and language development • Improving children’s self-regulation, resilience, health and well-being • Improving parental engagement and the home learning environment Ofsted to judge the impact of EYPP on child’s progress

10.

15. Transitions In order to ensure continuity in learning and development for all children… Hampshire expects: All settings to pass on the following information during any transition to a new setting: • which age/stage band fits each child in the 7 areas of learning and development • the unique interests, motivations and Characteristics of Effective Learning for each child • additional information for children where there are any particular concerns or vulnerabilities. • Don’t forget to follow data protection requirements and involve parents in any information share.

16. Tracking Progress of Two Year Olds – a District Approach • Termly submission of data for two year olds (funded and non-funded) • Team collate to create a whole district picture of outcomes • Team analyse to identify strengths and areas to develop in relation to the Prime Areas of learning • Whole district information shared with managers and leaders (individual settings/children not identified but analysed as a whole district cohort) • Joint working and training opportunities developed as a result of outcomes and identified issues

17. How does this help individual settings? Through sharing district data, our team will enable settings to understand: • District trends in “two year old” data, current and over time • Areas for development and impact on training/provision • Setting’s progress over time in relation to outcomes for two year olds • Where they are in relation to district outcomes – e.g. “our two year olds do better in “Speaking” than the district average” • Comparative data to share their progress and outcomes with OFSTED • And identify shared priorities for joint working between settings and with feeder settings/schools

26. Vulnerable Children and Families Integrated Two Year Review

27. Integrated Two Year Review: Background • Government commitment in 2011 to 'explore options for a single integrated review from 2015’. • Progress on pathfinder areas was published in Nov 2014. • A Hampshire steering group has been developing a county approach informed by national & regional findings. • Approach piloted in Gosport building on work already taking place. • Rollout will take place from the Autumn Term. Further information will be provided via Birth to Three Network Meetings

28. Integrated Two Year Review:Key approach • Personal Child Health Record (PCHR), (‘red book’) will be the main means of communicating the outcomes from the two separate two year checks. • Birth to Three Network meetings will be the primary engagement method for EY providers and Health Visitors • Early Years providers (with parent permission) will be able to book face to face appointments with health visitors to discuss individual children. • Health visiting duty line will be available to discuss any concerns or clarify issues.

29. Integrated Two Year Review:Emerging findings from pilot • Providers are now asking to see and discuss the Health Visiting review (ASQ-3) with parents to identify children’s starting points and needs. • 100% of parents have shared the ASQ-3 with providers • Increase in the number of phone calls to the duty health visitor regarding following a 2 year old EY progress review. • Improvements in joint working between Early Years Providers and Health Visitors as a result of shared understanding of the separate 2 year reviews.

30. Safeguarding

31. Safeguarding • Recent OFSTED inspections outcomes and Serious Case Reviews have identified areas of development for Early Years Providers • The Child E Serious Case Review will be published shortly and will include the following recommendation: ‘Early years providers in Hampshire should be asked to review both the supervision and support arrangements for managers and the safeguarding expertise of those with ultimate responsibility for practice standards within the setting’

32. Safeguarding • Recent OFSTED inspection outcomes have shown a significant increase in the number of safeguarding actions being raised by OFSTED

33. Safeguarding Themes from quarter 4: The OFSTED inspection actions can be grouped into 6 main categories: 1 Suitability and paper evidence to show checks have been completed (6 actions) 2 Having a policy and procedure and ensuring all staff understand it (including use of phones and cameras and evidencing that staff have been trained) (8 actions) 3 Having suitable first aid (3 action – all CMs) 4 Security of premises (1 action) 5 Ensuring children have awareness of keeping themselves safe (1 action - OOS) 6 Follow established procedure without delay (1)

34. Safeguarding Support already available: • Safeguarding training, available to all of Hampshire’s EY Providers; which is delivered by national experts in the field (includes a focus on supervision during day 2 of the training) • Lead Practitioner (Safeguarding) Support Groups: a peer support and good practice sharing group for EY Providers’ safeguarding leads • Regular information sharing and promotions of best safeguarding practice through the SfYC blog, website, Provider’s Briefings and Lead Practitioner (Safeguarding) Support Groups • Individual setting/provider support and challenge to EY Providers • The commissioning of specialist organisations to provide support for child-minders • Independent Reviewing Officers (IRO) developed a briefing session that was delivered at the Lead Practitioner (Safeguarding) Support Groups • Promotion of the Hampshire Local Safeguarding Board’s workforce development opportunities

35. Safeguarding Further support is being developed: • A safeguarding audit for EY Providers to use to self-evaluate their practice • Closer liaison with the Children’s Services Social Care Central Referral Team (CRT), Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) and Children in Need (CiN) Teams, including plans for the CRT/MASH Team Leaders to deliver the Autumn round of Lead Practitioner (Safeguarding) Support Groups. • Half Termly visits to PVI EY Providers by the SfYC Inclusion Team to support with the tracking and educational achievement of Children in Care (CiC) who are looked after by Hampshire • The monitoring of OFSTED outcomes, SfYC support requests and CRT/MASH contacts to identify EY Providers’ safeguarding information/practice support needs • Further information will follow through the Lead Practitioner (Safeguarding) Support Groups and the SfYC blog and website
