	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Communities and Local Government has not undertaken an assessment of the revaluation on the financial sustainability of non-maintained childcare and early-education providers. However, rateable values of nursery premises are taken into account in the amount of early years funding provided to local authorities for them to distribute to providers.</p><p>At the Budget, the Government announced a £435 million package of support to help those businesses most in need of support following the revaluation. It included £110 million to support rate-payers losing small business rates relief and rural rate relief as a result of the 2017 revaluation, as well as a £300 million discretionary relief fund for local authorities to help local businesses. Additionally, if a non-maintained childcare and early-education provider is also a registered charity for business rates purposes it may also qualify for relief.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 11/07/2017 10:21:57 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones previous answer version 1912 answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
