answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2017 answer text <p>Maintained nursery schools make a valuable contribution to improving the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children. The effect of the 30 hours entitlement on their budgets will depend on the extent to which they are directly involved in delivery of the entitlement and the take up of the entitlement by parents in the local area.</p><p>Maintained nursery schools can choose to offer the 30 hours entitlement themselves, as can all early years providers. However, if they cannot or do not want to offer the whole entitlement themselves, we would encourage them to consider a range of options for being involved in the delivery of the 30 hours entitlement, including working in partnership with other providers.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/12/2017 14:52:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

uin	107335
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>Every three months parents need to reconfirm their eligibility for 30 hours free childcare. This is to check they still meet the eligibility criteria and are therefore still entitled to receive the offer. Taxpayers’ money should not be used to give parents free childcare if they do not qualify for it.</p><p> </p><p>Parents should receive a communication via text message and/or email, four weeks before their reconfirmation deadline and again two weeks before the deadline if they still have not reconfirmed. This communication will tell them that they have a secure message to read. This message will remind them to reconfirm and can be found in the ‘secure messages’ section of their childcare account. The Department for Education continues to disseminate key messages on 30 hours free childcare policy to parents through Local Authorities.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education consulted extensively on the 30 hours free childcare policy. This included the provision that parents would have to reconfirm their eligibility for 30 hours free childcare every three months. The policy was debated by both Houses of Parliament during passage of the Childcare Bill in 2016. The policy was also subject to further scrutiny in both Houses when the Childcare (Early Years Provision Free of Charge) (Extended Entitlement) Regulations 2016 were debated. There are currently no plans to amend these regulations.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill grouped question UIN 107333 107334 question first answered 17/10/2017 09:29:17 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
