Dear Service Provider,
Core Funding February Review and Confirm
The February Review and Confirm window will open from 1 February to 14 February 2025.
This process enables Core Funding payments to continue by facilitating Partner Services to review their most recent application information.
Partner Services can complete their Review and Confirm with two options available:
1. Review and Confirm with Changes
2. Review and Confirm without Changes
Prior to completing the Review and Confirm, Partner Services should:
• Ensure all data captured in the Service Profile is accurate and up to date for the 2024/2025 programme year.
• Ensure your Core Funding Application is at status ‘Approved’. If your application is at ‘Referred back’, you must address the reason for the refer back and then complete the February Review and Confirm process.
If you have an Update Due Date populated on your most recently 'Approved' Core Funding application record equal to or before 1 February, you must action this as part of your Review and Confirm using the option of ‘Review and Confirm with Changes’ either replacing the departed staff member or reducing your capacity.
Core Funding supports and training materials can be found under the Help and Support section of the Early Years Hive.
Core Funding Payments
After the Review and Confirm window is closed, Core Funding payments will only continue to be processed as per the payment schedule on the Early Years Hive, provided your February Review and Confirm is at an ‘Approved’ status.
Regards,
The Early Years Team
