Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many individuals employed in early years settings have achieved level 3 qualifications in each of the last five years.
We do not centrally collect the data requested.
However, the number of workers with qualifications at various levels is published in our ‘Childcare and early years providers surveys’ at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2016.
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2013.
The 2018 survey is due to be published on 1 November 2018.
