Early years sector asked to unite in fight for fairer funding

Funding Policy & Politics
The childcare sector is being urged to join together in the fight for increased funding by taking part in a week of action.

The Action Week, organised by the Early Years Alliance, will start on 10 June. The aim of the week is to ensure childcare providers engage with every MP in England about the early years funding crisis in the lead up to the Comprehensive Spending Review later this year.

According to the Alliance, the Chancellor previously confirmed he was ready to listen to MPs who approached him with ideas for what Government’s spending priorities should be.

The week of action forms part of the Alliance’s Fairer Funding campaign which calls on Government to increase funding levels so they match the ‘true’ cost of delivering quality childcare and to commit to annually reviewing funding levels to ensure they keep pace with rising delivery costs.
