The Department for Education\u2019s increased level of investment was based on our \u2018Review of Childcare Costs\u2019. The review looked at both the current costs of childcare provision and the implications of future cost pressures facing the sector, including the National Living Wage.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have commissioned new research from Frontier Economics to provide further data on the cost of providing childcare, which will look at the effect of National Living Wage. This year we will also be enhancing our annual Survey of Childcare and Early Years Providers with more detailed research on provider finances and childcare costs, which will take into account the National Living Wage.<\/p>
<\/p>
In terms of the rate of the National Living Wage, the independent Low Pay Commission makes recommendations, taking in to account the state of the economy and evidence from a wide range of business and workers representatives.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-05T13:48:48.94Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pre-school Education: Finance"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 28 June 2018 to Question 157123 on Students: Loans, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of those funds for early years providers to meet National Living Wage obligations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4058", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paul Blomfield"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sheffield Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paul Blomfield"} ], "uin" : "159582"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/931074", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/931074/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
By 2019 to 2020, we will be spending around £6 billion on childcare support, which is a record amount. This includes spending approximately £1 billion extra a year on 30 hours of free childcare and to fund the increase in hourly rates that we introduced in April 2017.<\/p>
Our average funding rates are based on the department\u2019s \u2018Review of Childcare Costs\u2019. This was described as \u201cthorough and wide ranging\u201d by the National Audit Office. The review looked at both current and future cost pressures. We recently commissioned new research to provide us with further robust and detailed data for the costs of providing childcare for children under five.<\/p>
The latest Ofsted data from March 2018 showed that the number of non-domestic providers has remained stable.<\/p>
