answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>We introduced the early years pupil premium (EYPP) in April 2015 in order to support better outcomes for disadvantaged 3 and 4-year-old children.</p><p> </p><p>The EYPP is demand led and local authorities are funded for the EYPP on the basis of the number of children benefiting and by the number of entitlement hours they take, according to annual census data. The EYPP is therefore funded on the same basis as the early year’s childcare entitlements.</p><p> </p><p>Census data was not available when the EYPP was introduced. Funding for 2015 to 2016 was on the basis of data held by the Department of Work and Pensions and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 16/01/2019 13:57:29 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The National Foundation for Education Research (NFER) are working with the department to develop and deliver the reception baseline assessment (RBA). NFER have been developing assessments for over 70 years, and all aspects of the RBA design are informed by an evidence base of early years research. As we move forward with the development and piloting of the assessment, the department will continue to work very closely with the sector to ensure we get the experience right for pupils.</p><p>The department is confident that the assessment will not be stressful or upsetting for children. It will be teacher-mediated and carried out one-to-one with the child using age-appropriate resources that they can handle and manipulate, lasting around 20 minutes. It will be similar to the on-entry assessments that schools already carry out in the reception year.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/01/2019 17:11:26 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The department collects data on all providers offering funded early education via the schools and early years census data collections. Local authority run nurseries would be most likely to be listed in the ‘local authority day nurseries’ category. In January 2010 there were 463 local authority day nurseries with children in receipt of funded early education, and 428 local authority day nurseries with children in receipt of funded early education in January 2018. Local authority day nurseries with no funded children will be omitted from these numbers.</p><p>The provision for children under 5 years of age national statistics release shows the number of local authority day nurseries separately for 2 year-olds (table 12) and 3 and 4 year-olds (table 13): <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2018</a>. Where children received funded early education at more than one private, voluntary or independent (PVI) provider they have been counted only once. The PVI provider where the child took the majority of their funded hours is the provider reported in the statistical release figures therefore, if the local authority day nursery was not providing the majority of a child’s hours, they will not have been counted in tables 12 and 13.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 16/01/2019 11:42:59 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
