The Transition Grant provides funding for additional staff time during a child’s induction or when a child moves within or between early education settings.
The funding helps providers gather information about the child’s needs, set up strategies and train staff so the child can settle safely and confidently.
The funding is available for children who attend a Trafford school nursery class or a private provider. This is regardless of where the child lives.
Application process for providers
Providers must apply for funding. There is more information about how to apply on the Early Years Training Portal.
Parent or carer consent
Parent and carers need to provide their consent before an application can be considered by the panel. There are two ways to do this:
- The parent or carer completes the online consent form, or
- The early education provider downloads the printable form for the parent or carer to sign. This can be submitted with the provider's online application.
