AIM Non-Term applications for 2025/26 closing 14 August 2026

Dear Service Provider,

If you have submitted an AIM Level 7 Standard Application for the 2025/2026 programme year and need Non-Term support for the summer period, please submit any AIM Non-Term applications by 14 August 2026 as no further applications will be accepted after this date for the 2025/2026 programme year.

Submitting your application by this date will allow it to be processed before the redesigned AIM Level 7 application process for the 2026/2027 programme call becomes available on the Early Years Hive.

We appreciate your continued support as we introduce improvements to make the AIM application process more streamlined for service providers.

We encourage all service providers to submit any outstanding AIM Non-Term applications by the deadline.

  • Programme: Select the relevant AIM level
