Dear Service Provider,
This is a reminder that the application process for the Core Funding 2025/2026 programme year opened on 9 June 2025.
You can submit a Core Funding application for the 2025/2026 programme year on the Core Funding Application page under the Programmes menu. Partner Services who have completed the May Review and Confirm process and are at an ‘Approved’ status will have the option to auto-populate their new Core Funding Application Module for the 2025/2026 programme year using the information from the most recently ‘Approved’ Core Funding Application record for 2024/2025.
It is important to note that once you have submitted your Core Funding Application Module for 2025/2026, you will have a 21-day window to activate the Core Funding Partner Service Funding Agreement 2025 on the All Programme Applications under the Programmes menu. If you do not accept your Core Funding Partner Service Funding Agreement 2025 within 21 days, your Core Funding application will be cancelled, and you will need to reapply.
Additional support and training materials are now available in the Help and Support section of the Early Years Hive.
Regards,
The Early Years Team
