+ + <%= govuk_list [ + "Barking and Dagenham", + "Coventry", + "Gateshead", + "Redcar and Cleveland", + "Telford and Wrekin", + "Thurrock" + ], type: :bullet %> + +These local authorities were chosen because they have:
+ + <%= govuk_list [ + "high levels of deprivation", + "low numbers of available nursery places compared to the number of children who need a place" + ], type: :bullet %> + + +From 25 November 2024 to 31 March 2025, nurseries in participating local authorities can claim incentives – which are paid directly to eligible new staff.
+ +To be eligible for a payment, a practitioner must have started in their new role between 11 November 2024 to 15 March 2025.
+ +New staff can either be:
+ + <%= govuk_list [ + "new to the sector", + "returning after a break of at least 6 months", + "moving from a temporary to permanent contract" + ], type: :bullet %> + +After a nursery has recruited an eligible new employee, they need to start a claim on their behalf on a digital service. The money will then be reserved for the employee and they will receive an email inviting them to complete the claim.
+ +After 6 months the nursery will be asked to confirm that they are still in their role. If they are, the Department for Education will pay the money directly into the employee’s bank account.
+ + +The Department for Education has allocated funding for nurseries to use to recruit staff.
+Payments will be reserved for nurseries in the order they are requested when a new claim is created. We’ll email participating nurseries when the number of available payments are running low.
+ + +A nursery is eligible if:
+ + <%= govuk_list [ + "it's in a participating local authority", + "you have been contacted by the Department for Education and told you’re eligible to offer payments" + ], type: :bullet %> + + +Applicants who are new or returning to early years are eligible if:
+ + <%= govuk_list [ + "they have not worked in a permanent role in a nursery in the 6 months before starting their new role, where they spent most of their time (70% or more) working directly with children", + "the role they’ve applied for is a permanent contract (this applies to part and full-time roles)", + "they’ll spend most of the time (70% or more) in their role working directly with children" + ], type: :bullet %> + +Applicants do not need to have any early years qualifications or have worked in a nursery before.
+ +You cannot offer the incentive to anyone who:
