Maintained nursery schools (MNS) make a valuable contribution to improving the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children. We are providing local authorities with around £60 million a year of supplementary funding, to enable them to maintain the funding that was provided to MNS in 2016/17. The funding of individual MNS is a matter for local authorities. No estimate has been made of the number of MNS that rely on the supplementary funding they receive in order to stay open.<\/p>
<\/p>
In February, we announced that we would provide local authorities with further funding of around £24 million to enable them to maintain the funding of MNS for the whole of the 2019/20. This provides MNS with further stability, and what happens after 2019/20 will be determined by the next Spending Review.<\/p>
