To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the take up of the 30 hour childcare entitlement in West Sussex.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the take up of the 30 hour childcare entitlement in West Sussex.
The government is committed to ensuring all parents who are eligible for the 30 hours free childcare entitlement are able to take up a place that suits their childcare needs.
Data from the National Statistics release ‘Education Provision for Children Under 5 Years of Age in England (January 2018)’ suggests around 3 out of 4 eligible children have taken up some extended hours, however it is not possible to generate an equivalent figure at local authority level due to the relatively small population that we are estimating within sub-national geographies. As at 31 January 2019, 5,728 30 hours eligibility codes had been issued in West Sussex for the Spring term, 5,144 of these had been validated and as at 28 March 2019 5, 230 children were taking up a place in the West Sussex.
We plan to spend around £3.5 billion on our early education entitlements this year alone – more than any other government. Our funding rates for the early education entitlements were based on our Review of Childcare Costs, described as “thorough and wide ranging” by the National Audit Office. We recognise the need to keep our evidence base on all aspects of early years sector costs up to date and we continue to monitor the provider market closely through a range of regular and one off research projects. That included the 2018 Early Years Provider Costs report which looked at a representative sample of providers, both in terms of provider type and geography, and gives an insight into various aspects of the provider market.
Data published by Ofsted in November 2018 shows that the number of childcare places available has remained broadly stable since 2012. Since the rollout of 30 hours commenced in September 2017, the sector has risen to the challenge with more than 340,000 3 and 4 year old children benefitting from a place and we receive contact regularly from the sector on this and associated topics. We are now in the second year of national delivery and an estimated 325,000 children were in a 30 hours place in the spring term 2019 – this is an increase on the spring term 2018 and 92% of the codes were issued. Although childcare providers do not have to offer the free 30 hours, our 2018 Providers Survey shows that the majority of providers in England with 3 to 4 year olds are offering and delivering 30 hours.
The data relating to the number of children receiving 30 hours in England is published within tables 5LA and 7LA in the ‘Education Provision for Children under 5 Years of Age (January 2018)’ statistical publication, available at:

First, I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South West Norfolk (Elizabeth Truss) on raising this subject, which is of great importance to us. She is right to hold the Government's feet to the fire. Indeed, she has form on that in this and other areas of education. I...

The school games, which were launched last summer, involved more than 10,000 children in the summer pilots. I launched the version in the north-west. They have a particular focus on disability sports, which is something that has very much been missing. They will have a programme of endorsements and accreditations...

The hon. Gentleman raises a good point. That is why, again within the school games, we have made specific money available for promoting disability sport, resourcing the national governing bodies of sports to develop a clear competitive pathway for young disabled people, ensuring the availability of follow-on activity linked to...

I had better move on or I will not answer any of the hon. Gentleman's points, but I think that there is a real poverty of ambition. Let me return to the issue of disabled sport and the charge about the elite nature of the school games. The opportunity to...

I congratulate the hon. Member for Stockport (Ann Coffey) on securing the time for this important debate. I agree with the vast majority of everything she has said. As she knows, I had the opportunity to go to Stockport in October when I spent a week as a social worker...

My hon. Friend is right. It is a mixed picture. The network of school sport partnerships did help schools to raise participation rates in a range of areas targeted by the previous Government, and schools should be given credit for that. I pay tribute to the Youth Sport Trust and...

We have had a very good, if truncated, debate, to which passionate and genuine contributions have been made by many hon. Members. I have to say, however, that I think the hon. Member for Bury South (Mr Lewis) attended a different debate, and certainly did not listen to the speech...

I do not think that there is a circle to square. My point is that we are in danger of treating all children under five the same, but basic attachment theory shows that children are very different in the first two years, which are all about the connections that the...

That is a good point. If one looks at the survey that the National Day Nurseries Association has conducted among a large sample of its members, many of the vacancies are in areas where new providers, heavily subsidised at the front end, are coming in. That cannot make sense and...

That this House notes that the number of claimants of incapacity benefit has increased by 34,400 since May 1997; further notes that the number of working age claimants as a percentage of the total working age population has increased from 6.4 per cent. in May 1997 to 6.8 per cent. in May 2004; is concerned that the Government's Pathways to Work pilots have no specific performance indicators; calls on the Government to publish details of the interim findings to date; and urges the Government to make it clear whether it has any plans to put time limits on payments of incapacity benefit.

That this House notes that the average Band D bill in England in 2004-05 will be ??1,167, an increase of 69 per cent. since 1997-98; is concerned that take-up of council tax benefit fell in the last year that statistics are available from 70.76 per cent. by caseload in 2000-01 to 66.72 per cent. in 2001-02; is particularly disturbed that take-up by pensioners is the lowest of all family types at 57.63 per cent. by caseload in 2001-02; recognises that between ??590m and ??770m worth of council tax benefit is left unclaimed by pensioners; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to increase take-up of council tax benefit, particularly amongst pensioners.
