Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail his assessment of the success of the Pre-School Education Inclusion Support Fund.


Answer:
The Pre-School Education Inclusion Support Fund (PSEISF) was launched in November 2024; 213 pre-school education settings have received support equating to an investment of £1,103,250 to date.
An evaluation of the Fund for the 2024/25 academic year will be completed by the end of October 2025. All funded settings will be surveyed to determine how they used the funding and the effectiveness and impact of it for children and staff.
