Dear Welsh Government,

I am seeking clarification on the cost differntials for the running of the Flying Start programme across Wales on a County by County basis.

Please provide the follwing data on a county by county basis:

2. The actual number of places allocated by WG?
3. The number settings run by a) Local Authority b)Third Sector c) Private Sector
4. The unit cost that is allocated per child for each of the setting
5. The amount of capital expenditure for the period 2010/11; 2011/12; 2012/13 broken down by the number of schemes benefiting per county?
6. The total level retained by each LA for the running of the FF programme- the total number staff employed and the total number of hours.
7. The percentage allocated against each LA staff member for pension contributions
8. The total amount given out in grant funding from LAs for sustainability and the number.
9. Number of Welsh only settings, Number of Children in each of these settings.
10. Number of children with special support needs supported under the scheme on a County level.
A copy of any report that WG have commissioned that influenced them to extend the number of families eligible.

Dear Eccles, Siobhan (LGC - CYP&F),

Apology FF should have been FS - Flying Start

8. My understanding is each Local Authority provide sustainability grants to each setting. I am seeking details of the amounts they provide. Average amount plus number given out by each LA.

Yours sincerely,

Derek Jackson
