Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many fostered children received the two-year-old childcare entitlement in the most recent period for which figures are available.
Table 12 of the ‘Education provision for children under 5 years of age’ Statistical First Release shows the number of 2-year-old children funded for an early education place because they were looked after or adopted: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/education-provision-children-under-5-years-of-age-january-2017. It is not possible to separately identify those who were looked after by a foster carer.
