To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 02 February 2018 to Question 125731 on Children’s Centres: Standards, what criteria his Department plans to use to assess the quality of children’s centre provision.

I refer the hon. Member for Batley and Spen to the answer I gave on 2 February 2018 to question 125731, local authorities who manage children’s centres are responsible for ensuring the services they provide through children’s centres meet appropriate quality standards.
