Through our Plan for Change, we're making high-quality childcare more accessible and affordable with 4,000 new school-based nursery places in September. Rachel at Brookfield Primary Academy tells us how government investment will help give children the best start in life.

Propaganda. Parents want choice. Children deserve provision that nurtures not indoctrinates. You cannot force 1000s of private nurseries into closure and only offer state sanctioned provision! We don’t want our 2/3 year olds “school ready” we want them to be CHILDREN!

What happens in the school holidays? Do these nurseries close? If so, they are of no use to anyone other than teachers.

This isn’t support for families, it’s a disaster. The push for school-based nurseries and the Children’s Schools & Wellbeing Bill ignore what children really need: time with their families, not rigid, state-driven systems.

I love my current nursery, a small family business next to a park and a nursing home that the kids visit. They’ve now increased fees by £100 a month because of you. Stop trying to destroy private enterprise and impose state control on everyone.

You’re failing those children Philipson is pricing out of independent schools by being unable to offer them places! This is a child in year 10! The local authority cannot offer a place and haven’t even attempted to meet my sons needs so I take no comfort in what you’re offering!

Crucial question , these 4000 nursery places only offer school term time care ? What happens during the summer holidays / every half term for working parents .. sounds a lot of hot gaslighting air to me , don’t be fooled

Breaking families apart for tax. You’re loathed.

Dig deep tax cattle.

How many nursery places have been lost and much more expensive are the remaining ones? Will these run through school holidays?
