The Cabinet Office do support the provision of childcare facilities for employees. If staff are based in London, they can apply for a place on the Westminster Holiday Playscheme which is provided by a third party. Children aged 4 years 9 months to 12 years are eligible to attend the playscheme, which runs during school holidays. If staff are based outside London and use a playscheme close to their home, the department will help with the cost of using the playscheme as long as the supplier is registered to provide childcare services. The cost of the playscheme is shared between the department and the parent.<\/p>

<\/p>

  1. Overall expenditure on the playscheme facilities for last financial year 2016/17 totalled £2,828.00<\/li>
  2. The department contributed an average of £78.56 per child during financial year 16/17, with a total of 27 staff using the facilities.

    The Department subsidises staff to use the Westminster Play scheme run by Tinies, a holiday play scheme covering school holidays.<\/p>

    During the last year there have been a total of 5 holiday sessions covered by the scheme. During this time a total of 9 Department employees with 10 children have benefited from the scheme. Unfortunately we are unable to provide a cost per child however the total cost to the Department for the scheme during this period was £691.50, which averages out at £69.15 per child.<\/p>

    Child care is primarily the responsibility of local authorities and they have a remit to ensure that there is sufficient provision to meet the requirements of the parents in their area. However, it is Ministry of Defence (MOD) policy to develop solutions to any evidenced gaps in childcare for all MOD employees, both military and civilian, in the vicinity of its sites and bases. Such schemes are usually managed locally. We are currently reviewing arrangements relating to the provision of childcare for employees.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-03T13:49:54.397Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ministry of Defence: Nurseries"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what childcare facilities his Department makes available for staff; how much his Department spent (a) overall and (b) per child on those childcare facilities in the last year; and how many staff members use those childcare facilities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4588", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tracy Brabin"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Batley and Spen"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tracy Brabin"} ], "uin" : "110613"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/781474", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/781474/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

    The Department organises the Westminster Holiday Play Scheme. This is a childcare facility that takes place during school holidays. It is open to children from the age of 4 years and 9 months up to 15 years\u2019 old. It is run on behalf of a consortium of departments through a contract led and administered by BEIS.
