To ask the Minister of Education for his assessment of the outcomes of Early Years funded projects in East Londonderry.

The Early Years Fund is effectively “closed” as applications are generally only accepted from previous recipients to the Fund.

To continue to receive funding, groups must demonstrate that they:

Provide direct early years care and education to children.

Provide a service in areas of low provision, disadvantaged areas or where the service is considered critical for children

Ensure inclusion and diversity

Ensure a standard of excellence in relation to quality.
