	uin	282374
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The childcare market is primarily a private sector market, so the number of childcare places will reflect how the market responds to parental demand and changes in the child population. As such, the number of places is monitored by Ofsted and not by the government. However, the government has invested in a number of capital programmes.</p><p>As part of the School Nurseries Capital Fund, the department recently allocated nearly £24 million for 69 successful projects across every region of England. This will help to create new school-based nursery places in disadvantaged areas so more children can access high-quality early education.</p><p>The department has supported the growth and creation of additional nursery places to deliver the 30 hours entitlement. In 2016, the department ran a £100 million early years capital bid round. Local authorities, in partnership with providers, were invited to submit bids. The department announced that over 350 projects across 123 local authorities were successful in this bid round.</p><p>The free schools that have opened since 2017 have created over 650 full-time equivalent nursery places, with plans for over 100 full-time equivalent more places in the future. Since 1 June 2017, 3 new local authority maintained schools have opened with nursery provision.</p><p>On 31 March 2019, there were 1.3 million childcare places offered by providers on the Ofsted Early Years Register.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 03/09/2019 07:35:21 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

The police force(s) in any safeguarding partnership will be responsible for ensuring that any intelligence gathered during safeguarding activity in that area is used to disrupt organised crime gangs involved in grooming.</p><p>The Tackling Child Exploitation Support Programme will not be focussing directly on individual children and young people - it has been contracted to provide support for partners in local areas with safeguarding responsibilities to develop their capability to provide a better safeguarding response for children in their area. There are many organisations already providing valuable support for direct practice with children and young people and the support programme will signpost local partners to them.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch grouped question UIN 285285 question first answered 06/09/2019 16:48:51 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
