Purpose:

From September 2014 up to 40% of 2 year old children will access a free early learning place. The DfE provide a revenue grant to pay for places. A small capital grant has been provided to expand provision where additional provision is required

·  Twerton, Bath

·  Keynsham

·  Writhlington, Radstock

Due to the limited amount of capital and targeted nature of the 2 year old entitlement the funding has to be allocated where the demand for places will be and where places need to be created in order to meet that demand.
