Childcare is a major concern for many families. For families across Britain, finding the right care for their children presents huge difficulties; whether that be availability, price or suitability. Parents often find it too difficult to arrange the right sort of care at the right price.
The government published ‘More great childcare’ in January, which set out plans to improve the quality of childcare.
More affordable childcare builds on this, setting out the government’s plans to:
- help families to meet the costs of childcare
- increase the amount of affordable provision
- give parents the right information so they can make informed choices about childcare
