Major inquiry into the sustainability of the childcare sector launches

Funding Provision
A cross-party group of MPs and peers are to carry out a formal, select committee style investigation into the opportunities and challenges facing childcare providers.

The All-Party Parlimentary Group (APPG) for Childcare and Early Education will hold the first two sessions of the inquiry on Wednesday 14 November at the House of Commons during which parents and private, voluntary and independent providers will share their experiences of accessing and delivering childcare.

A panel of industry experts will also give evidence including representatives from sponsors the Pre-school Learning Alliance and National Day Nurseries Association, as well as Ceeda and Mumsnet.

The inquiry follows a lobby day organised by the APPG in July, which saw over 50 parliamentarians meet with childcare providers to learn about the issues facing the sector.
