Childcare providers to lobby MPs on 30 hours

Over 100 nursery owners and practitioners are to gather in Parliament on 18 July to lobby MPs on the 30 hours.

The event, organised by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Childcare and Early Education, will provide early years providers with the opportunity to meet with their MP to discuss the challenges the 30 hours of funded childcare poses to their business.

Along with MPs, members of the House of Lords are also due to attend the event.

The aim of the lobby day is to inform a large number of parliamentarians about the issues of concern for the sector, as well as secure their support for more funding for the policy.

The APPG for Early Education and Childcare is backed by the Pre-school Learning Alliance, National Day Nurseries Association, Tops Day Nurseries and The Foundation Stage Forum. It is chaired by former shadow early years minister Tulip Siddiq.
