WE COULD DO IT BETTER
In the Analysis feature, 'Time to abolish Key Stage One' (10 January), there was no mention of the private sector and its part in providing quality care and education.

Perhaps successive Governments should have managed their budgets better and, rather than open unsustainable facilities that cost millions of pounds, given grants to existing establishments that are keen to employ the very best staff and provide the very best facilities and, most important of all, subsidise childcare for hard-to-reach families, instead of making us seem elitist and unaffordable.
