Example menus and guidance have been developed as part of the delivery of the Childhood Obesity Plan to support early year\u2019s settings in England. This is to provide meals and snacks in line with current government dietary recommendations for infants and children aged six months to four years. The government will publish the menus and guidance in due course. Separate Voluntary Food and Drink Guidelines are already available for early years settings to help them meet the nutritional needs of children aged one to five.<\/p>

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2<\/a>) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. The welfare and safeguarding section in the EYFS sets the required maximum staff to child ratios. Ratio and qualification requirements apply to the total number of staff available to work directly with children. For children aged three and over, staff with a level 6 qualification supported by someone with a level 3 can operate with a 1:13 ratio, whereas staff with a level 3 supported by someone with a level 2 qualification can operate with a 1:8 ratio. There are no plans to change the requirements. We do not measure staff to child ratios, therefore it is not possible to assess trends.<\/p>

Workforce data can be found in the annual Early Years Census published by the Department for Education. The workforce data collected in the census relates only to private, voluntary and independent (PVI) settings and childminders. The most recent census which contains information on the graduate workforce can be found here:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2016<\/a> (9LA).<\/p>

<\/p>

In maintained nursery and state-funded primary schools where 3- and 4- year olds benefit from funded early education, it is a requirement that at least one member of staff is a school teacher. Data on the number of maintained and state-funded primary schools can also be found in the census (Table 11).<\/p>

The Early Years Workforce Strategy published in March this year, sets out the actions we will take to attract, retain and develop the early years workforce.<\/p>

The strategy includes a commitment to working with the early years sector and awarding organisations to develop new criteria for level 2 childcare qualifications.<\/p>

The Department will also work with organisations specialising in SEND (special educational needs and disability) to develop a specification for early years staff who want to focus on SEND.<\/p>

The strategy also includes a commitment to review the early years initial teacher training routes to make sure we are maximising the impact of the programme.<\/p>

Parents should avoid taking their children out of school during term-time, except in exceptional circumstances. The evidence shows every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil\u2019s chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances.<\/p>

We have a robust local control regime to enforce this, which enables the school or local authority to issue a penalty notice that where parents have failed to secure their child\u2019s regular attendance at school, including if they take their child out of school for a vacation without permission.<\/p>

Every local authority must draw up a Code of Conduct for issuing penalty notices, in consultation with governing bodies and head teachers in their area. The Code will set out the occasions when it will be appropriate to issue a penalty notice. This can, for example, include circumstances where a pupil is persistently late to school without a valid reason. A penalty notice must be issued in accordance with that Code.<\/p>

In April 2017 the Supreme Court unanimously agreed with our position that no child should be taken out of school without good reason.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1562", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Scarborough and Whitby"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Robert Goodwill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-17T09:37:48.957Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Truancy: Fines"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans she has to review her Department's policy on fining parents whose children are absent from school because of term-time vacations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1597", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David Simpson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Upper Bann"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "David Simpson"} ], "uin" : "106445"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Scarborough+and+Whitby&max-date=2017-10-09", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 3478, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
