Free early education for 2-year-olds with no recourse to public funds (NRPF)

In September 2019, the government extended eligibility for this entitlement to 2-year-old children from 3 groups of families and, in September 2020, extended the entitlement to a fourth group of families who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).

This consultation seeks views on:

• whether there are other groups of families with NRPF besides those identified in the consultation who should be eligible for the entitlement
• the possible impact of any extension on people who share protected characteristics
