Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children's centre linked sites there have been in each year since 2010.
Since 18 September 2017, real-time data on Sure Start children’s centres and children’s centre linked sites has been supplied by local authorities via the department’s Get Information about Schools (GIAS) database portal at: https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/.
The department does not systematically collect information on the date children’s centres convert to children’s centre linked sites so it is not possible to provide a breakdown by year.
The definition of a children’s centre linked site is set out in the GIAS glossary at: https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/glossary.
