Primary Education: Nurseries

Asked by Damian HindsConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 1 August 2024UIN 1657

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of the proposed additional nursery places in primary schools will be (a) year-round and (b) term-time only.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

There are a range of models of nursery provision run on school sites, including nursery classes attached to primary schools, provision for 2 year olds and full day care run by schools, as well as private and voluntary providers running provision on school sites. The department will be working closely with the sector as it develops this commitment to ensure new nursery provision meets the varied needs of parents, children and schools.
