Online pilot for managing Early Years funding across Birmingham

A pilot programme has been launched to enable childcare providers across Birmingham to submit headcount details via Sentinel's online solution.

Twenty-five early years settings are taking part in the pioneering programme to capture Early Education Entitlement (EEE) funding information.

Saving time and driving efficiency savings, the system is based on a secure portal that can be accessed using any device type.

As well as processing the claims and calculating funding automatically, the system - which goes lives across the city in the autumn - will also check data and detect duplicate claims.
