Daycare Trust welcomes the Government announcement that the roll-out of Sure Start children's centres has reached a milestone early by giving 800,000 children the opportunity for a better start in life. We support the Ten-Year Childcare Strategy, but continue to call on all political parties to meet the needs of the strategy.
We have a Government committed to making progress in childcare facilities.
When New Labour came to power they faced major challenges in delivering high-quality, affordable childcare to all families.
However, there is still much to be done, and even once the strategy is complete the cost of childcare may still keep high- quality provision out of reach for many families. All political parties need to declare their financial and political commitment to this essential infrastructure.
