It’s excellent news that the government is committed to expanding childcare, but increased entitlement must be matched by more provision and places. 📻 @JodeReed on @BBCWomansHour 👇

Labour's new childcare in schools plans should be delivered by a new public-private/voluntary partnership model - mini 🧵 from me

£3.1 billion has been allocated by the UK Government for “catch-up” initiatives for school-aged children in the last year. A fraction of this money, wisely invested could drive the system change and service improvement required to give all our babies the best start in life. 9/10

National Government can take action now to enable joined-up local action, and to ensure that no local area is allowed to fail its youngest citizens. #WorkingForBabies 8/10

We do not want to return to normal after the pandemic, because for many babies and their families in the UK, normal was not good enough. We must build back better for babies. #WorkingForBabies 7/10
