Nursery Places

Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many (a) full-time and (b) part-time

26 Jun 2000 : Column: 419W

nursery places were provided in each London local authority in (i) 1996-97, (ii) 1997-98, (iii) 1998-99 and (iv) 1999-2000 for (a) three-year-olds, (b) four-year-olds and (c) all children aged under five years. [125418]

Ms Hodge: The available information on the number of children under five who are in some form of early years education is shown in the table.

Currently, all eligible four year old children in England are in some form of early education, including 16 per cent. in private and voluntary places. Funding is provided through the early years partnerships for LEA, voluntary and private places.

Since September 1999, we have invested substantially in the creation of new, free early educations places for three-year-olds. During 1999-2000, funding was focused on 65 authorities, chosen on the basis of social need, and over 46,000 three-year-olds were able to access free early education for the first time.

Over 80 per cent. of new free places were concentrated in the private, voluntary and independent sectors and we expect this trend to continue over the next year. Our aim is that 66 per cent. of three-year-olds nationally should have access to a free early education place by March 2002, enabling some 190,000 three-year-olds the opportunity to access a free place for the first time.
