Capital Funding for 30 Hours Extended Entitlement
PDF 50 KBIn April 2016, as part of its commitment to support providers in delivery of the 30 hours extended entitlement, the Government announced it would be making £50m capital funding available for local authorities to submit funding bids for the creation of new childcare places.
In July 2016 the authority invited all eligible childcare providers in Lancashire to submit an application for funding. Childminders were not eligible to apply.
The authority received notification at the end of December 2016 that the Education Funding Agency had awarded funding to two of the six projects submitted by Lancashire totalling £1,466,130.
This report is requesting approval to add this funding to the 2017-2018 Children and Young People's block of the Capital Programme.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. 26 have been complied with.
