Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish a table on the net increase per quarter of the number of Ofsted-registered childcare places for children aged (a) two or under and (b) over two per local authority since 15 March 2023.

This is a matter for His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver. I have asked him to write to the hon. Member and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
