Make Childcare Work
Please take urgent steps to deliver a childcare system in England that is more affordable, easy to use so parents face less stress and can access the nursery hours they need, and delivers the best possible start for children.
Why is this important?
The childcare system in England isn’t working for families.
Parents need childcare that helps them choose whether to go back to work. But hundreds of thousands aren’t getting the help they should be. It’s a battle for mums, dads, and caregivers to get the support they’re entitled to – and their children deserve.
When the sums don’t add up, and parents end up worse-off than if they didn’t work at all, it can feel like the odds are stacked against them. And the financial pressure and stress that creates at home isn’t good for parents or children.
This campaign is about making childcare fair and easy to use. Right now, our broken childcare system isn’t giving families the support they need - at the most important time in their children’s lives.
