Contact Early Years in your area - but it was well known that the money was not guaranteed after 31st March '11. I have heard of many who are in the middle and has lost their funding and of others who will not receive anywhere near what they had hoped for. This could be one of the reasons that it is no longer a requirement to have an eyp in each setting (excluding family/children centres) from 2015 - the grants/money is no longer there.
