Same here, we had to apply, and it had to be to help us deliver the EYFS. We would apply for up to £4,000 but having spoken to other minders it looks as though we were all given £2,500. Only down side was you have to pay out and then claim it back, which is ok if you have spare money :panic: So I "borrowed" £500 from our endowment which is due to be paid off, and spent that, then waited for that to come back before I purchased the next lot of things. Would have been great if they had given us the money first :D
