Education Minister Tim Crookall says twice as many people have been able to access preschool provision since its privatisation.
The first year of private nursery classes started in September after former minister Peter Karran announced the government would no longer supply free provision.
Instead, parents have been able to apply for funding under a voucher system which they can spend with private operators.
Mr Crookall says so far the system has been a success:

'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
