Families facing "a summer of stress" from childcare costs and availability - Tulip Siddiq

“Soaring childcare costs are a direct result of the Conservatives’ chronic underfunding of nurseries and childminders.

“Families are now facing a summer of stress as they struggle to find or afford childcare on top of all the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Unaffordable childcare risks forcing parents out of their jobs, with devastating economic consequences.

“The Government needs to wake up to the problems facing parents and start investing in the high quality childcare they need all year round.”
