30hr Childcare: Analysis of potential demand and sufficiency in Ealing. Summer 2016 Introduction: Calculating the number of eligible children in each Ward of the borough The methodology utilised by the DfE to predict the number of eligible children in the borough cannot be replicated at Ward level (refer to page 14: Appendix 1 for DfE methodology) Therefore the calculations for the borough have been calculated utilising the most recent data at Ward level concerning the proportions of parents working, the estimates of 3& 4 year population and the number of those 4yr old ineligible as they are attending school. The graph below illustrates the predicted lower and upper estimates for eligible 3&4 year olds for each Ward Page 1 of 15 Executive Summary The 30hr eligibility criteria related to employment, income and the number of children aged 4 years attending reception class (who are ineligible for the funding) makes it much more likely that eligible children will be located in Wards with higher levels of employment and income (potentially up to a joint household income of £199,998) and lower numbers of children aged 4years in reception class. Although the 30hr. childcare programme may become an incentive to work in the future, in terms of the immediate capital bid, the data points to investment in areas which are quite different than the original proposal, which targeted the 5 wards within the Southall area. The 5 Southall Wards are estimated to have the fewest number of eligible children for the 30hr programme. The top 5 Wards estimated to have the highest number of eligible children are amongst the least employment and income deprived Wards in Ealing with the lowest numbers of children affected by income deprivation.

Therefore the number of eligible children for 30hr places per Ward has been calculated utilising the following methodology: 1. We utilised Census Data ONS: LC1601EW - Family status by number of parents working by economic activity, to ascertain the % of all families in each Ward which best matched the 30hr.eligibility criteria (Couple families: both parents working; Lone parent family with parent working and couple families where 1 parent working and 1 parent sick or disabled) 2. We calculated the predicted total number of 3& 4 year olds by Ward utilising the ONS Mid-2014 Lower Layer Super Output Area population estimates. 3. We applied the % of eligible families to the 3& 4 population number to estimate the total number of eligible 3& 4 yr. olds per Ward. 4. We identified the current number of 4yr olds in infant class in primary schools by Ward by utilising the School Census data: 4yrolds attending reception (Summer 2016) and deducted this sum from estimated eligible 3& 4 yr. total as they would be ineligible. 5. This gave us the lower estimate of eligibility by Ward 6. We applied the % differential between the lower estimate and the DFE total estimate to attain the upper estimate per Ward Limitations to the methodology Eligibility estimates should be treated as indicative, given that the main source of data regarding parents’ status is from the 2011 Census and the uncertainty regarding changes in population, employment & earnings since that date affecting levels of eligibility. Ealing also has one of the highest levels of internal and external migration in the country and there are a number of employment/regeneration programmes within some of the target areas, which may also affect levels of eligibility.
