That is why the UK government will be spending almost £6 billion a year on childcare support in 2019/20 – a record amount. The Welsh government also offers childcare support, on top of that provided by the UK government through the benefits system.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>This government is committed to making childcare more affordable and more accessible. We plan to spend around £3.5 billion on our early education entitlements this year alone – more than any previous government. All 3 and 4-year olds and the most disadvantaged 2-year olds can access 15 hours a week of early education. From September 2017, this government doubled the childcare entitlement for eligible working parents of 3 and 4-year olds to 30 hours a week.</p><p>We want 30 hours to continue to build on the flexible provision that we were already seeing across the country with the universal 15 hours. All the free entitlements can be “stretched” by taking fewer hours per week over up to 52 weeks of the year to cover term-time and the school holidays and free places can be delivered at weekends.</p><p>Parents can find out information about all the government childcare offers on the Childcare Choices website and use the Childcare Calculator to help them understand what childcare support they are eligible for.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 10/06/2019 16:57:58 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
