To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much was allocated to each local authority for free entitlement to nursery education in each of the last five years; and how much such funding was spent on that entitlement in each local authority area in each such year.
[139246]
Local authorities are funded for the free entitlement to early education for three and four-year-olds through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG), which supports the majority of education provision for children aged three to 16. The Department calculates a total amount of DSG for each local authority and distributes it to them—but does not separately identify an amount of funding for early education for three and four-year-olds. All decisions about the amount of DSG to be spent on early education are made by local authorities, in consultation with their Schools Forum.
Local authorities report on their financial expenditure through section 251 returns. These returns are published on the Department's website. Section 251 returns for the previous five year are available at:
http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/adminandfinance/financialmanagement/schoolsrevenuefunding/section251/archive
Additionally, the Department has recently published a foundation years benchmarking tool containing information about early years services in each local authority—including data on funding for free early education. This provides more detail on local authority planned spending, including a break down of planned spending to a per pupil level. The benchmarking tool can be accessed from the Department's website
http://www.education.gov.uk/childrenandyoungpeople/earlylearningandchildcare/delivery/b00211546/foundation-years-benchmarking-tool
From 2013-14 funding to extend early education places for two-year-olds from lower income households will be included in the Dedicated Schools Grant. The Government announced additional funding allocations to local authorities on 27 November 2012. Details can be accessed on the Department's website:
