The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress she has made on providing 3,000 (a) new and (b) expanded school-based nurseries.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

In April 2025, the government announced the approval of 300 new school-based nurseries in the first round of funding. This initiative will create up to 6,000 new nursery places.

The department is now working closely with the sector to design the next phase of the programme, to roll out more new and expanded school-based nurseries.
