The Government remains strongly committed to the universal entitlement for three- and four-year-olds because of the evidence that it promotes school readiness and longer-term outcomes, particularly for the most disadvantaged children. A number of 30 hours early implementer areas are focusing on ensuring that disadvantaged children remain able to access the free entitlement, including in maintained nursery schools.<\/p>

Most maintained nursery schools are located in disadvantaged areas, and are strongly focused on supporting the communities they serve. We do not expect them to offer the 30 hours entitlement at the expense of disadvantaged children in receipt of the universal entitlement. We would, however, encourage maintained nursery schools to consider a range of options for being involved in the delivery of the 30 hours entitlement, including working in partnership with other providers.<\/p>

We remain strongly committed to providing 15 hours of free early learning a week to disadvantaged two year olds because evidence tells us that early education promotes school readiness and longer-term outcomes, particularly for the most disadvantaged children.<\/p>

Data collected in January 2016 shows that take up of this programme is growing, with 68% of two year olds benefitting from funded early learning, and we continue to support local authorities to increase take up further. We have provided local authorities with estimates of the number of children who may be eligible in their areas from September, so they can plan and ensure there are enough places available to accommodate all the Government\u2019s childcare offers. We have increased the national average funding rate for the two year old entitlement from £5.09 to £5.39 an hour, to help ensure childcare providers continue to provide the places parents need to access their entitlement. We will also continue to provide lists of eligible parents to local authorities so that they can promote the entitlement directly to those who could benefit.<\/p>

A number of early implementer areas are focusing on ensuring that disadvantaged children remain able to access the free entitlement and looking at the impact of 30 hours in areas with high levels of maintained provision.<\/p>

Expert analysts routinely examine data from every UK strike to assess its effect, with one of their priorities being to highlight any possible indications of civilian casualties or collateral damage. Any information on potential civilian casualties reported to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) by external parties is considered by staff in the MOD and the Permanent Joint Headquarters drawing on a wider cohort of expertise across the Department.

Since 2010, six free schools and three university technical colleges (UTC) have closed. Please see list below for details of these confirmed closures and how the site has since been used.<\/p>

The primary objective of the department when making a decision to close a school is to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for pupils and to secure value for money for the taxpayer. The department\u2019s published accounts explain any assets that were written off because they could not be reused or recovered.<\/p>
