Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what role Sure Start Children’s Centres will play in the implementation of their policy to double free childcare for working parents of three and four year-olds.
We expect to consult on the extended entitlement for three- and four-year-old children of working parents; and we will consider the role that Sure Start Children’s Centres might play. Further details will be announced in due course.
