	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>There are currently seven workplace nurseries in operation, by third parties, on DWP premises.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Department's current contracts with its nursery providers are soon expiring. Therefore, it is appropriate to review future nursery provision in general and consider whether it is appropriate and cost effective to continue to contract for on site services.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, as part of its remuneration package, the Department supports employees through a salary sacrifice scheme where employees can give up part of their salary in return for childcare vouchers, which allows for significant savings through tax relief. This gives parents support in order to make their own choices for childcare. Consequently, as suitable alternatives exist, it is no longer appropriate to continue to contract for workplace nursery provision.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There are currently 361 families who access DWP's workplace nurseries<strong>.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>The cost of nursery provision: </strong></p><p> </p><p>2013/14 YTD (Feb): £29,112</p><p> </p><p>2012/13: £50,693</p><p> </p><p>2011/12: £80,811</p><p> </p><p>2010/11: £88,494</p><p> </p><p>The Department doesn't claim tax relief on workplace nurseries</p><p> </p><p>No information is held on Executive agencies and non-departmental bodies.
