</p><p>The Government encourages all high-quality early education providers to offer
places for disadvantaged two year olds. The data published above shows that in January
2014 over 14,000 providers were delivering places for early learning for two year
olds. This is very significant progress in advance of the 40% entitlement. The Government
expects many more providers, including those in the large nursery chains, to offer
places now the 40% entitlement has commenced.</p><p> </p>
