answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The government published an assessment of the cost of childcare in 2015, following a thorough review of the evidence. The review is available from: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-childcare-costs" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-childcare-costs</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The government has consulted on providing an average funding rate to local authorities of £4.71 per hour for the government funded 3 and 4 year old offer, of which 95% must be passed to childcare providers. This is above the representative costs per hour for 3 and 4 year olds set out in the review of childcare costs. Providers should therefore not need to subsidise government funding to meet the full cost of providing the 3 and 4 year old offer.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 51820 question first answered 08/11/2016 10:52:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government will be investing over £1billion more per year by 2019-20 to fund our commitments on the early years entitlements. This includes £300million per year from 2017-18 for a significant increase to the hourly rate paid for the two-, three- and four-year-old entitlements.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that funding for these entitlements is fairly distributed between different parts of the country and different types of providers. That is why we have recently consulted on our proposals for a national funding formula for these services. Our proposals will ensure that funding is based on the costs of meeting the needs of local children, not on historic spending patterns.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently considering all responses to the consultation, and are planning to publish the Government’s response soon.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 03/11/2016 15:59:07 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
