	uin	203435
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The government set out in the 2015 Spending Review that we expect 390,000 three and four-year-old children to be eligible for 30 hours free childcare in the first year. This figure was a January snapshot and therefore an average across the year. Furthermore, the figure will change slightly year on year depending on the birth cohort and parental employment levels.</p><p>We do not have a robust estimate of eligibility at a regional and local authority level. Local authorities have a statutory duty under Section 7 of the Childcare Act (2006) to secure early education places free of charge for all eligible children and therefore we would expect local authorities to carry out analysis to understand their local demand.</p><p>We do publish termly experimental statistics showing the number of children in a place. The most recent publication showed that an estimated 339,974 children were in 30 hours places in the summer term. The full publication - including regional and local authority level breakdown - is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/30-hours-free-childcare-summer-term-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/30-hours-free-childcare-summer-term-2018</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/01/2019 14:58:17 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

When matching a sponsor to a school that is subject to an academy order, the RSC will also consider a range of other information, such as the sponsor’s geography in relation to the school, the sponsor’s skillsets, capacity, specialist expertise and track record. This will ensure that the sponsor is a good match for the school.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/01/2019 17:16:16 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
