Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if her Department will publish a list of (a) the proposed locations for new school-based nurseries and (b) the criteria used to select them.

Phase one of the School-Based Nurseries Capital Grant 2024/25 was open to all state funded primary-phase schools across England. We published a list of the successful schools, which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-based-nursery-capital-grant-application-outcomes.

The criteria used to determine the location of the new and expanded school-based nurseries was published in our applicant guidance and included local demand for nursery places.
