Sure Start local programme funding has been rolled into the General Sure Start Grant (GSSG) from 2006/2007, which will also include funding for workforce transformation during this period.
However, details of local authority allocations from the 125m Transformation Fund have not yet been released. A DfES spokesman said they would be announced 'in due course'.
Funding for extended schools and children's centres is also now included in the capital funding of the GSSG, which is to be used by local authorities to deliver the Government's ten-year childcare strategy.
The funding will be 1,111m for 2006 to 2007 and 1,045m for 2007 to 2008.
