answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2016 answer text <p>We have recently consulted on a comprehensive set of reforms to the early years funding system, and one of our proposals is to allow local authorities to use a rurality/sparsity supplement in their local funding formulae, in recognition that there may be unavoidable higher costs to providers operating in sparsely populated, rural areas with limited demand. We are currently considering all responses to the consultation and are planning to publish the government’s response in the autumn.</p><p> </p><p>We are also keen to gather learning and test how the extended entitlement will operate in a range of area types, including rural areas. Through Early Implementation of the 30 Hours Free Childcare entitlement, Northumberland, one of our early implementer local authorities, is looking specifically at how the extended hours work for and impact on providers operating within the most rural postcodes in Northumberland. Since September, over 500 children in rural parts of Northumberland have been benefiting from a 30 hours free childcare place a year early.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 02/11/2016 17:28:38 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2016 answer text <p>The latest Statistical First Release published in June 2016 shows that 45,075 childcare providers were delivering funded early education to three and four year olds. 93% of three-year-olds and 97% of four-year-olds were taking up 15 hours of free childcare per week. This information is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2016</a></p><p> </p><p>Working parents of three- and four-year olds will be able to access 30 hours of free childcare from September 2017. The Government is making a record-level of investment in early years to ensure that childcare providers receive sufficient funding to deliver the 30 hour entitlement. This includes increasing spending on the free entitlements by over £1 billion per year by 2019-20 and providing £300 million per year from 2017-18 for a significant increase to the rate paid for the two, three- and four-year- old entitlements. Alongside this, we launched a consultation on reforms to Early Years funding on 11 August, which is available at: <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/early-years-funding/eynff" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/early-years-funding/eynff</a></p><p> </p><p>The purpose of the funding reforms is to ensure that funding is transparently and fairly matched to need and fairly distributed between different types of providers and different parts of the country. We will publish the government response to this consultation later this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also run a bidding round to allocate £40 million of capital funding to local authorities and providers which can demonstrate that they will work in partnership to deliver the 30 hour entitlement. The successful projects will be announced in December 2016.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 31/10/2016 17:37:49 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
