However, the two-year-old free entitlement is specifically for disadvantaged children, and take up nationally is 71%, up 13 percentage points from 2015.</p><p>Information on take up at constituency level is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p>We do publish take-up data by local council. Take-up is calculated by looking at the Schools and Early Years Census data to get the number of children in a funded place. These data counts are then compared to eligible population estimates from Office for National Statistics (ONS) to calculate take up rates.</p><p>As of January 2017, take up of the two-year-old offer in Nottinghamshire is 73%. This is an increase of 5 percentage points from 2016, and 16 percentage points since 2015. The current take-up level is also above the national average of 71%.</p><p>As of January 2017, take-up of the universal three-year-old entitlement in Nottinghamshire as a whole is 100%, with no change since 2016. In 2015, take-up for three-year-olds was 93% in the most deprived decile of areas in the UK, using Department for Education and ONS data to calculate take up rates.[1]</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Entitlement-to-free-early-education-and-childcare.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Entitlement-to-free-early-education-and-childcare.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 06/12/2017 17:57:33 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
