Today, few parents can afford to stay at home to look after their young children. Living costs mean that most parents don't choose to work - they have to work. This is especially true for London parents, who experience the highest cost of living in the UK, including childcare that is 25 per cent more than the average national rate. By cruel irony, London also has above-average child poverty rates. It is therefore essential that parents have access to affordable, quality childcare. As Mayor, I would make this a policy priority.

As a nursery owner, I wholeheartedly agree with the news story 'Nurseries demand fraud money back' (11 December). We too have had parents ask us for our registration number to enable them to claim Working Tax Credit. We actively encourage our parents to claim it, and the majority of parents are sincere and pay their fees on time. But there are occasions when parents claim the money and then either leave owing huge amounts of fees or ask for the number in order to claim and then never turn up.
