question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the new hourly rate of £4.61 per child in private early years settings amounts to an increase of 7.21 per cent; and whether this increase takes into account the rise in minimum wage which takes effect in April 2022.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2022 answer text <p>At the Spending Review on 27 October 2021, the department announced additional funding for the early years entitlements worth £160 million in the 2022-23 financial year, £180 million in 2023-24 and £170 million in 2024-25, compared to the current financial year. This is for local authorities to increase hourly rates paid to childcare providers for the government’s free childcare entitlement offers and reflects cost pressures, like the increase in the national living wage, as well as anticipated changes in the number of eligible children.</p><p>For the 2022-23 financial year, the department will increase the hourly funding rates for all local authorities by 21p an hour for the two-year-old entitlement and, for the vast majority of areas, by 17p an hour for the three and four-year-old entitlement. We will also increase the minimum funding floor by 17p an hour, meaning no council can receive less than £4.61 per hour for the three and four-year-old entitlements.</p><p>Uplifted funding rates for each local authority for 2022-23 were published on 25 November: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-funding-2022-to-2023" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-funding-2022-to-2023</a>.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 06/01/2022 17:22:03 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>We are providing supplementary funding of around £60 million a year to enable local authorities to protect maintained nursery school (MNS) funding until 2019-20. It is for local authorities to set the rates paid to maintained nursery schools. This supplementary funding provides MNS with stability whilst we develop a long-term solution for them. An important part of this will be understanding the value for money that they offer, and new research will report on this later in the year.</p><p>MNS also benefit from our increased hourly rates paid to local authorities to deliver the 15 hour free entitlement for disadvantaged two-year-olds. From April 2017, all local authorities saw 7% increases in their funding rates for two-year-olds.</p><p>Future funding decisions after 2019-20 will be set at the next spending review.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 163604 163606 question first answered 20/07/2018 13:23:39 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
