The Government's recent funding announcements reflect our commitment to ensuring all children, particularly those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, have access to high quality early education. The spending review confirmed that all three and four-year-olds will continue to receive 15 hours of free early education per week, delivered more flexibly. Funding for free early education places for three and four-year-olds is provided through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG), which supports the majority of education provision for children aged three to 16. Local authorities, in consultation with their Schools Forum, decide how best to distribute funding across their locality, and local authorities set their own local rates of funding to early years providers. No national funding allocation figure is available.The spending review statement also included a commitment to extending the entitlement to free early education to all disadvantaged two-year-olds from 2013. The investment over the next four years will be: £64 million in 2011-12; £233 million in 2012-13; £331 million in 2013-14; and, £380 million in 2014-15. For the first two years of the spending review period, this funding will be provided to local authorities through the Early Intervention Grant.
