Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of full day care staff had an Early Years Educator Level 3 qualification or above in each year since 2013.
The 2013 Childcare and Early Years Provider Survey showed that 87% of staff in full day care settings are now qualified to at least level 3. This is an increase from 75% in 2008.
The Department does not hold this data for the years since 2013, the data for 2016 will be available by early 2017.
