Govt childcare announcement: More Conservative chaos hurting families
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Government's childcare announcment, Liberal Democrat Education Spokesperson Munira Wilson MP said:
“This latest Conservative chaos is hitting families hard. Parents are seriously worried about what the Government’s botched childcare expansion will mean for them.
“Free hours are no good if parents can’t find a good nursery or childminder for their child – and thanks to Conservative underfunding, more than 3,000 providers have closed in the last year alone.
“Instead of plunging families into even more chaos, the Government should take up the Liberal Democrats’ clear and properly-funded plan to ensure all parents can access childcare that is flexible, affordable and fair.”
