§ Lord Marlesfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
What childcare development targets they have set for each county in England and Wales; and which counties have met those targets to date. [HL654]
§ Baroness Ashton of UphollandWe have only information relating to England. Targets in Wales are a matter for the Welsh Assembly. Childcare targets for each local authority are agreed with early years development and childcare partnerships (EYDCPs). These targets are based on the findings of their local audits of childcare provision and the Government's own national strategic targets. A wide range of targets for the development of childcare is set.
Annex 1 shows the overall targets for new childcare places created and actual places achieved by each local authority area in the most recent available year, 2000–01.
Annex 2 shows the overall targets for new childcare places to be created for the next three years from 2001 to 2004.
