How to register for the Provider Portal

Provider Portal – information

The Provider Portal is a secure, web-based system allowing an authorised person (registered user) to submit Early Education Funding claims. 
 
Registered users MUST NOT share their login details – this is classed as a data breach*, which incurs a £100 charge to your provision.
 

Absent Registered Portal User

If your registered user has left your provision or will be absent during the task period, you can change the registered user by completing a new proforma and submitting it to the Provider Portal inbox below.
We would recommend that the registered user is not changed frequently.

  1. Read the below information and related guidance notes and policies.
  2. Complete the Agreement of Use form.
