Nursery provision

DCFS is extending free nursery provision for all 3 and 4 year olds to 15hrs per week, by 2010 (currently the offer is 12.5hrs per week). Nationally 20 LAs already offer the 15hrs provision (including Leeds, Sheffield and York). A further 14 (including Kirklees and NE Lincs) will offer this provision as from 2008. The remaining authorities will have to deliver this extended provision to the most disadvantaged families by 2009 and offer full coverage by 2010.
