Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many providers are involved in the trial of 30 hours of free childcare.
This question was answered on 22nd November 2016
York is delivering to all eligible children as part of Early Implementation of the 30 Hours Free Childcare entitlement. Currently, 197 out of 229 (86%) of York’s providers are signed up to deliver the extended entitlement, and this figure continues to increase.
The remaining Early Implementer local authorities were allocated a limited number of places (around 415 each) and those areas report that providers are engaging positively with the programme.
