<p>We do not hold all of the requested information.</p><p> </p><p>The proportion of
two-year-olds benefitting from funded early education in England continues to rise,
reaching 71% in 2017. This has risen from 58% in 2015. The proportion of two-year-olds
benefitting from funded early education places by local authority is set out in Table
5LA of the Statistical First Release (SFR) Education provision: children under 5 years
of age, January 2017 at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2017"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2017</a>.</p><p>The
proportion of two-year-olds not benefitting from funded early education places by
local authority (part c of PQ 4170 and PQ 4173) can be derived from this table. We
do not hold data on the proportion of two-year-olds eligible for 15-hours free childcare
who are not accessing this provision by ethnicity, SEND, gender or social class (part
a, b, d and e of PQ 4170).</p><p> </p><p>Table 10LA provides the number and percentage
of two-year-old children benefitting from funded early education, including settings
rated requires improvement and inadequate (PQ 4172) in 2017. Ninety six percent of
two-year-olds benefitting from funded early education were in settings rated good
or outstanding. Four per cent of two-year-olds were in settings rated requires improvement
or inadequate.</p><p> </p><p>The proportion of two-year-old children benefitting from
funded early education at private, voluntary and independent settings with staff with
qualified teacher status, early years teacher status or early years professional status
working directly with two-year-olds (PQ 4171) is set out in Table 12 of the Statistical
First Release, Education provision: children under 5 years of age, January 2016 at:</p><p><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>This
data was not collected in the 2017 early years census and as a result was not included
in the 2017 publication.</p>
