	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not hold information on how many childcare places for disadvantaged two-year-olds have been created since September 2013. Local authorities are responsible for ensuring that every eligible child, whose parents want a childcare place, is able to take one. We are reforming the early education market so that places are both more affordable and accessible. We are encouraging more schools to provide places for two-year-olds, including as part of an offer of provision between 8am and 6pm. The introduction of childminder agencies will also provide a new way for parents to find places that are suited to their needs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
