Applies to England

The school nurseries capital fund (SNCF) will create more school-based nursery places for disadvantaged children.

The first few years of a child’s life are critical to shaping their future development. We want to provide equal opportunities for every child, regardless of background or where they live, because we know that good early years education is the cornerstone of social mobility.
