The specific information requested is not centrally held and to obtain it would incur a disproportionate cost.

Westminster Holiday Playscheme (​WHP​)​, a school holiday service run by Tinies Kids Clubs, is available to civil servants of specific government departments including DCMS. DCMS offers WHP childcare facilities to all staff with a 50% subsidy.
