PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Children: Day Care (18 November 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the (a) median and (b) mean wage was for childcare workers in each of the last five years.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

The Department for Education’s Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on the wages for childcare workers.

Tables providing figures on the mean wage for childcare workers for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 are provided in the attachment. The survey was not carried out in 2012 and so no figures are available for that year.

Figures showing the median wage for childcare workers in each of the last five years are not readily available.
