The department does not monitor local authority compliance with Section 5 of the Childcare Act 2006. The department has published statutory guidance that clarifies what local authorities must do to meet the legal requirements set out in Section 5 of the Childcare Act 2006 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sure-start-childrens-centres.
