Pre-School Education: Finance
Mrs. Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what funds his Department has made available to increase the early years entitlement to 25 hours per week from September 2009. [289313]
Dawn Primarolo: From September 2009, all local authorities will roll out an extended 15-hour, flexible, free, early education entitlement to their most disadvantaged children. A year later the rollout will be completed, with every three and four-year-old eligible to receive 15 hours early education free per week, to be delivered more flexibly in response to parental demand.
£590 million has been made available over 2008-11 to fund the additional 2.5 hours per week of provision and more flexible delivery. This funding is over and above that which local authorities currently receive through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) for a 12 and a half hour free entitlement.
Over the same period, £642 million capital funding has been made available to improve the quality and capacity of child care in the private, voluntary and independent (PVI) sector, to help deliver the extension of the 15 hours free entitlement for three and four-year-olds and equip settings with facilities for children with disabilities so there are no barriers for any child accessing child care.
The Government have also committed, from 2011, to funding the cost of all children starting school in the September after their fourth birthday, and the full-time costs (up to 25 hours per week) of those children whose parents would prefer them to be in private or voluntary early years provision.
Mrs. Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of (a) childminders and (b) private, voluntary and independent nurseries have received funding from the Early Years Capital Grant. [289315]
Dawn Primarolo: Information is not collected on the number and proportion of early years and child care providers who have received funding from the Early Years Capital Grant.
Mrs. Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of private, voluntary and independent nurseries have received funding from local authorities to deliver the free early years entitlement in each local authority in each year since 2004. [289799]
Dawn Primarolo:
The Early Years Census collects information from local authorities on Private, Voluntary and Independent (PVI) providers delivering the free entitlement. All PVI providers returned in the Early Years Census will receive Dedicated Schools Grant funding from their local authority. Table 1 shows the number of PVI providers recorded on the Early Years
Census as delivering the free entitlement from 2004-2009 in each local authority area.
The number of PVI providers not delivering the free entitlement is not known.
