Nursery World - New childcare website to champion affordable childcare

Childcare Champions, a campaign website, has launched three weeks before the Budget when a major Government announcement is expected on childcare funding.

The new website has been created by social enterprise United for All Ages to actively promote quality affordable childcare for all parents in the UK.

The founders Stephen Burke and Denise Burke say that childcare is currently at a crossroads.

Their aim is to raise awareness through blogs and web debate, and stimulate public opinion. Visitors to the site will be able to join a national network of 'childcare champions' fighting against cuts to childcare services.

The campaign has been started out of concern for the direction that childcare policy in the UK is heading, particularly the Government’s planned childcare reforms set out in the More Great Childcare report, including proposals to increase staff: child ratios.
