Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many childcare providers in (a) Bethnal Green and Bow, (b) London and (c) England have fallen off the register in each year since 2010.
Ofsted is the non-ministerial government department responsible for the regulation of early education and childcare providers. They publish a regular series of statistics relating to early years providers, which can be viewed from this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofsted/about/statistics.
This is a matter for Ofsted. I have asked, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman, to write to the hon. Member. A copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
