Written Answers
Family Hubs
Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of rolling out family hubs across the country.

Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

On 11 June, my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out plans for spending and public sector reforms through the Spending Review 2025. This announcement confirmed departmental budgets for 2026/27 onwards and committed that the government will continue to invest in and expand the Family Hubs programme, working with parents to help give children the best start in life.

This builds upon my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister’s Plan for Change, published in December 2024, which outlined the ambition to give children the best start in life by strengthening and coordinating family services to improve support through pregnancy and early childhood.

The department is working with the Department of Health and Social Care to share further information about what the Spending Review settlement means for the continuation and expansion of the programme. We recognise the importance of providing local authorities with certainty of future funding across the whole programme and we will share further information when we are able to.

Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of rolling out family hubs nationally.

Public Libraries: Closures
Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of closures of (a) libraries and (b) other cultural spaces on the availability of early years services.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)

Local authorities have a statutory duty to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service.

Public libraries significantly contribute to early childhood development by offering a variety of events like storytimes, rhymetimes, and craft sessions. These activities, along with access to a diverse collection of reading materials for all ages, are crucial for enhancing speech, development, and social skills in young children.

Where local authorities are proposing changes to their statutory library service, including closures, DCMS expects the local authority to be able to demonstrate that proposals are supported by an assessment of local needs, together with a rigorous analysis and assessment of the potential impact of their proposals and a demonstration of the steps to be taken to mitigate the impact.

The Secretary of State has a statutory power to intervene by way of local inquiry if she considers that a local authority is not providing a comprehensive and efficient library service. She takes this role very seriously and should a complaint be received, Ministers will challenge the local council and carefully consider evidence before deciding if a local inquiry is needed.

Arts and culture should reach all children and young people and connect with them in a unique way - and this government is committed to ensuring that the Arts can continue to provide opportunities for children up and down the country. Seventy-nine percent of Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisations, which includes theatres, museums and galleries, work with children and young people.

The Family Hubs and Start for Life programme provides access to joined up early years support and family services, with over 500 hubs now open across the country. Local authorities should consider existing infrastructure and local need when deciding where to locate services. Libraries and community spaces can, and often do, form part of family hub networks.

Pre-school education
Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department plans to take steps to support nursery workers to encourage learning through play.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The early years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS) sets the standards and requirements that all early years providers must follow to ensure every child has the best start in life and is prepared for school. The EYFS is clear that children learn through play and that play is essential for children’s development. For example, singing songs helps to develop language comprehension, vocabulary, self-expression and literacy. Early years practitioners should carefully organise enabling environments and cultures for high quality play and are encouraged to create games and provide opportunity for play both indoors and outdoors.

The department is committed to supporting settings in how to practically deliver the EYFS well for the benefit of all children. A range of information and resources are available, such as ‘Development Matters’, help for early years providers and the Foundation Years website, which includes ideas for play-based learning activities.

Pre-school Education
Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of early intervention on children's readiness to start school.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The government’s Plan for Change sets out our ambition for a record proportion of children starting school ready to learn. The department will measure progress through 75% of children at the end of reception reaching a good level of development in the early years foundation stage profile assessment by 2028.

Antenatal classes, health visitors, parenting support, baby and toddler groups and access to affordable, high quality early education and childcare are vital to guiding parents, improving the home learning environment and supporting development.

A stable family environment is the foundation for better health, education and earnings. Studies have found that the most influential home environment variable on children’s cognitive development at age three and four, and academic outcomes at age seven, is the quality of the home learning environment during preschool years.

Children need access to high quality early education and evidence-based programmes designed specifically for this early stage of development. An impact evaluation of the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) found that children who receive NELI make, on average, four months of additional progress in oral language skills, and seven months for those children on free school meals.

Home Education
Asked by: Gareth Snell (Labour (Co-op) - Stoke-on-Trent Central)
Monday 30th June 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will take steps to provide training on home education for parents of school-age children.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department does not have plans to provide training for parents on home education.

We have published guidance for home-educating parents to help them understand their rights and responsibilities.

The department is also introducing a new duty on local authorities to provide support to home-educating families through the Children Not in School measures within the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. This will ensure that there is a baseline level of support across all local authorities so that parents have access to a reliable level of support, irrespective of where they live, and we will be providing additional training to local authorities to help them to fulfil these duties.

Parents who choose to home educate have the flexibility to employ a variety of approaches and need not follow structures such as the national curriculum, stick to a traditional school day, nor include the study of specific subjects, provided the education is efficient, full-time and suitable to the age, ability and aptitude of the child and any special educational needs they may have. Issuing training would therefore not be appropriate, as we do not wish to impose restrictions on parents by instructing them on how they should home educate their children.
