State Funded Nurseries
Received: 19 September 2023
I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If however this request is too wide or too unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. I am seeking the following information in electronic form - preferably as a spreadsheet. I am trying to get a picture of the composition of state funded nurseries in England. As such, I would like to know which nurseries in your local authority have received funding as part of the Government's scheme of providing free early education for 2, 3 and 4 year olds (as set out at https://www.gov.uk/free-early-education). I am interested in any nurseries that have received such funding since 1 September 2019. For each nursery I would therefore like to know: * Its name * Its postcode * Its religious character/ethos/designation, if this is known * Whether free places were provided in the 2019-20 academic year (and if possible, how many) * Whether free places were provided in the 2020-21 academic year (and if possible, how many) * Whether free places were provided in the 2021-22 academic year (and if possible, how many) * Whether free places were provided in the 2022-23 academic year (and if possible, how many) * Whether free places were provided in the 2023-24 academic year (and if possible, how many) Thank you and best wishes
