uin	203327
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>I have asked Ofsted to respond using the data they hold on registered nursery places. Sir Michael Wilshaw, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector will write to the Hon Lady, and a copy of his response has been placed in the House Libraries. Some providers such as schools with nursery provision for children aged three or over, are exempt from registration. The number of places therefore may not include the full range of early years provision available in the area.</p><p>The Department for Education's Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on all registered childcare places, including those in maintained schools and nurseries. These figures are therefore more comprehensive than the Ofsted figures; however data is only available at a national and regional level, and in this case only for the North West.</p><p>[1]<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011</a></p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 07/07/2014 16:36:32 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
