answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The Government is extending the entitlement criteria for two-year-old early learning. From September 2014, two-year-olds will be eligible if they have a current statement of special educational needs (SEN) or an education, health and care plan (EHCP) or if they get Disability Living Allowance. The Government is determined to ensure that all children are able to benefit from their government-funded early education, and local authorities have the necessary funding, including in the high-needs block of the dedicated schools grant, to secure this.</p><p> </p><p>The Government published Childcare and Early Years Survey of Parents 2012/13 in January 2014, which contains a range of information about the views of parents with disabled children about childcare. The survey contained information about access to childcare, including flexible and holiday care, the quality and affordability of this care. It is published online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/275992/SFR06-2014_Childcare_and_Early_Years_Survey_of_Parents_2012-13_final.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/275992/SFR06-2014_Childcare_and_Early_Years_Survey_of_Parents_2012-13_final.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government published Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey 2011, which contains information on early years providers who care for children with disabilities.

uin	202879
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>I have asked Ofsted to respond using the data they hold on registered nursery places. The Ofsted Director for the Early Years, and North-East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Nick Hudson, will write to the Hon. Gentleman, and a copy of his response will be placed in the House Libraries. Some providers such as schools with nursery provision for children aged three or over are exempt from registration. The number of places therefore may not include the full range of early years provision available in the area.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education's Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on all registered childcare places, including those in maintained schools and nurseries. These figures are therefore more comprehensive than the Ofsted figures; however data is only available at a national and regional level, and in this case only for the North East, Yorkshire and Humberside combined.</p><p> </p><p>[1]<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011</a></p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 07/07/2014 10:19:43 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
