These figures do not necessarily capture teachers who are centrally employed by the local authority but support a number of centres on a peripatetic basis. The 2008 pre-school and childcare statistics will be published on 17 September 2008 and for the first time will include specific information on the number of children receiving pre-school education from a qualified teacher during census week and will also capture more information about teaching input delivered on a peripatetic basis.

The Government is clearly committed to progressing the issue and increasing entitlement to pre-school education over time. It has reaffirmed its policy on the provision of free pre-school education and confirmed its plans to amend existing legislation to achieve an increase in entitlement to 570 hours in 2010, as part of its commitment to give a 50 per cent increase in entitlement to pre-school education.It is clear that progress is being made and that the Government has taken on the spirit of the petition.
