Motion TitleChildcare Reform

Motion TextThat this Assembly recognises that childcare is vital social and economic infrastructure, a crucial form of early intervention and early education, an anti-poverty tool, and a means by which to improve productivity and gender equality in the labour market; acknowledges the failure of the 30 free hours of childcare model to deliver for households and providers in England; believes childcare should be child-centred, of a high quality and accessible for all children; and commits to delivering an Affordable Childcare Scheme that operates through government payments to registered childcare providers, in order to limit the costs paid by parents and support the sustainability of the sector.
