The government has announced the regional allocations for the Early Years pupil premium.
Nurseries, childminders and other early years providers throughout the country are set for a cash injection to help three and four-year-olds from disadvantaged families.
Children from low income families have often fallen behind more well off classmates before they even start school.
But from April 2015, the Early Years Pupil Premium – which has been backed by groups like Barnados, 4Children and the Child Poverty Action Group – will mean extra money to make sure every child gets a fair start.
Over the country, 172,646 children are eligible for such help, with a total of £49 million available for them.
The regional allocations can be read here.

The link in the newsmoggie piece above just takes you to a lot of pictures of Miriam and Nick cooing over nice clean, well dressed small children.
When politicians are having their photo-ops in junior schools — what has been done to hide all those dirty, slightly odd-looking, poorly clothed children — the children who have a constantly running nose?
I can’t find any “regional” figures. There are some initial LA allocations published alongside the consultation response on the Gov website – are those the ones?
Paul Griffiths — you are right there are no regional figures.
I am not sure if someone has changed the party website in between time or if Newsmoggie just got it wrong in the first place.
