After Nursery World interviewed the minister, the Government released more details of its school-based nurseries policy during the Labour Party Conference on Wednesday 25 September.
CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT’S PLAN FOR SCHOOL-BASED NURSERIES?
We’re committed to working towards the childcare entitlements that families are being promised, giving every child the opportunity to have the best start in life. We absolutely recognise this is not going to be easy.
You’ll know that 85,000 new childcare places are needed. That’s more than double the increase in places than over the last five years.
We absolutely recognise there’s no immediate fix, but we do believe in the 3,000 school-based nurseries. In the coming weeks, we will set out more detail on that.
