Fleur Anderson MP: 'We use a staggering 11 billion wet wipes every year in the UK and 90 per cent of them contain plastic'

First of all, I must say that I am delighted to have been asked to write a piece for Nursery World. I work very closely with my local nurseries and daycare centres in Putney, Southfields and Roehampton, and I have led an Early Years Debate in Parliament and will continue to champion the importance of the early years sector. I have been so impressed by how you have risen to the challenge of the pandemic. It has been such a difficult period and I am grateful that you continue to care for and educate our children in the most difficult circumstances.
