Chronically Online Kemi wants you to believe our breakfast clubs are underfunded. She's wrong.
Numbers below on why that's not the case, but a key one is £450 – that's how much we'll save some parents.
The Tories can't bring themselves to welcome Labour's free breakfast clubs.

We have some of the worst paternity leave in Europe.
To allow Dads to spend more time with their newborns, and to give mums more support and options, we need an expansion.
I will be supporting the Government’s work on this, and their parental leave review however I can.

Two years ago I joined 2,000 families campaigning for change.
So pleased with the pro-activity and pace of change coming from @bphillipsonMP
Investment in our state run nurseries provides a lifeline to our maintained nurseries in Bristol. This policy is such welcome news!

Important point. And issue for fathers too. Overwhelming maj of fathers don’t take full pat leave as can’t afford it, entrenching “division of labour” in the home

This new research finds that England is one of the worst countries in Europe for access to childcare. Single parents are almost twice as likely to be unemployed and underemployed compared with couple parents. Lack of childcare and flexible working are two main reasons as to why.
NEW: Today marks the release of a world-first study by @Mitch_Inst mapping childcare access for 10 million children across nine countries. The study finds England to be one of the worst countries with 30% of people living in a 'childcare desert' 1/2

NEW: Labour is set to launch a new "taskforce" to work on a child poverty strategy, amid pressure on the government to ditch the controversial two-child benefit cap in its King's Speech.

A few (v quick!) comments from me here on Labour’s breakfast club commitments: tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Labour will deliver the early education and care that parents need and which sets children up for life.
That starts with 3,000 new school-based nurseries.
And a strategy in year one to secure the workforce needed across the sector to drive high and rising standards.

Good quality childcare needs to be a core part of any modern economy.
80% increase in costs + decrease in availability is not good for families or the economy.
Really pleased @bphillipsonMP has commissioned this review so we can have a proper review and a long term, comprehensive plan on #childcare

Maybe the Chancellor has noticed that the first rollout of free hours for 2yos at the start of next month is in chaos? What he announced today won’t fix the issue - he’s breaking his promise to parents about help with childcare costs #Budget

Childcare - this is a bit techy. Promising that the funding paid to providers will rise with faster than expected wages. Just not explaining where DfE will get the money from because there’s (inexcusably) no spending review
Labour Campaign for Childcare Reform retweeted
Government-funded early education and childcare should support families to thrive. The current hours model entrenches educational, economic and social inequality before children even start school.
Important new briefing from coalition members @suttontrust out today 👇

I'm thrilled to have the backing of @LabourChildcare
Families in Bracknell struggle every day to find good quality, affordable childcare
@UKLabour will launch a major review of childcare, create thousands of new nursery places, and drive up standards

“Clearly ‘backing business’ means backing pubs, but not the 60,000 businesses in the early-years sector"
Great to see @NewStatesman @paperdispatch highlight the lack of support for #earlyyears in the #AutumnStatement

🚨 NEW BLOG: Is the UK's childcare system inefficient or just underfunded?
Hari Menon shows that, while the cost of providing childcare is lower in the UK than in Sweden, it is more expensive for British families because the state foots less of the bill

👶 Last week @bphillipsonMP announced a @UKLabour review of childcare to shape its reforms.
Here Imogen Shaw of @LabourChildcare sets out three simple ideas for how the party could ensure a "total overhaul" to help families, staff and providers alike:

@CroydonLabour are opposing the closure or amalgamation of our maintained nursery schools
We know these schools are inclusive, affordable & accessible. Many families depend on the expert staff & their loss would be keenly felt
