DfE School-Based Nurseries Plan

*By investing in early years education, Opportunity Mission seeks to reduce the gap between background and opportunity.

The Department for Education has projected the need for 70,000 additional nursery places and 35,000 early years educators. Many local areas will need to increase their capacity by 10-20% to meet demand by September 2025, with some lower-income areas requiring an uplift of over 20%.

This new funding is designed to address these urgent needs, helping schools and local areas to prepare for the expected increase in demand. It also ensures that no child or family is left without access to quality early years education, regardless of their background or location.
