Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many working parents with 3 and 4 year olds in receipt of 30 hours of early years education (a) receive the Government's universal 15 hours of early education funding and (b) are not in receipt of the Government's additional 15 hours of early education funding for working parents.

Children in receipt of 30 hours free childcare access the universal 15 hours of free childcare, as well as the extended entitlement to 15 hours free childcare for working parents.

As of December 2017, an estimated 202,783 were in a 30 hours place. This figure is based on local authority data returns made in November 2017. We will be publishing the spring term data on Thursday 15 March 2018 and that will be available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/30-hours-free-childcare-spring-term-2018.
