Funding will be provided in 2016 as part of the Early Years Capital Programme. I am currently considering how best this funding can be targeted in the context of building capacity in the early years sector to meet the new demands for places under the extended Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Programme.

I hope to be in a position to announce the details of this programme of capital funding shortly.
