Have your say on Childcare

It is not too late to give your thoughts on childcare. 

The Government is calling on early years and childcare providers, parents and others to put forward their ideas about how to make childcare more affordable and accessible.

The Childcare Commission, set up by the Prime Minister, is looking at how to reduce the cost of childcare for working families, without cutting the safety or quality of provision.

The call for evidence runs until the end of August and the commission will report in the autumn.

Please see following link to find out how to put your views forward.
