Plans are under way to set up a new All-Party Parliamentary Group for early years and childcare, following a campaign led by Cheryl Hadland, founder of Tops Day Nurseries.
The nursery chain is sponsoring the establishment of the cross-party group of MPs and peers with the hope of setting it up following the general election.
Manchester-based chain Kids Allowed and the Pre-school Learning Alliance (PLA) are also on board as sponsors.
Representatives from these organisations met recently and agreed to start the process of setting up the new APPG, with the aim of it being ratified shortly after the general election.
The APPG is also seeking other co-sponsors from the sector to get involved.
