Tuesday 25th July 2017

Asked by: Baroness Grender (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

Her Majesty's Government what proportion of children who are eligible to receive 30 hours of free childcare are currently registered to begin receiving that childcare from September.

Answered by Lord Nash

The number of eligible children fluctuates by term and by parental employment, and we cannot estimate with precision how many children are eligible at any specific time.

As of 18 July, successful parent applications for 30 hours have generated 145,463 valid 30 hours eligibility codes through the service. The demand for the service continues to grow daily with over 2,000 30 hours codes generated per day.
