Power to the PVI

Perhaps we should remember that the Labour Party grew originally from the concept of the power of organised labour. The PVI childcare providers have as much, if not more, power than a disorganised workforce had in the nineteenth century. How could this Government meet its targets if the providers of more than 80 per cent of nursery education refuse to support it? And where better to start than in Kent, where a cohesive PVI movement is well organised and could paralyse the LEA's attempts to comply with Government targets?
