How can you assess ‘access’ & not consider affordability & access for children with different learning needs? This ‘analysis’ is of ‘availability’- the presence of childcare providers - a market.
We've published new analysis looking at access to childcare in England and how it has changed over the past 4 years. Find out more here: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

6% of councils reported ‘sufficient childcare for children with disabilities’ in the @CoramFamChild survey published earlier this year. This is the reality of the ‘accessibility’ of childcare in England. #SEND #SaveOurNurseries

#SaveOurNurseries! Brilliant to see @SaveLittleOwls standing up to Leeds council - and saying no to closures and privatisation of vital public nurseries. Keep marching! Keep fighting! Keep holding those responsible to account!

If in Leeds - show your solidarity with public nurseries and join the Save Little Owls march and rally today! #SaveOurNurseries

We recognise the challenging financial position of the Council. But closing nurseries is not the answer to the childcare crisis! Sign the petition here: change.org/p/save-little-owl… #Leeds #ChildFriendlyLeeds

Please sign and share this petition to Save NHS Nurseries in Denmark hill and #SaveOurNurseries! Public Childcare Now - expand not extinguish! change.org/p/keep-affordable…
For a second time the Trust are attempting to close this vital support for #NHS staff at King's College Hospital and SLaM #mentalhealth hospital. After promising in 2022 to keep the nursery open, 2.5 years later, without the heat of the pandemic, they're reneging on their word.

Campaigning parents believe cuts to staff at Balham Nursery mean it will not be safe when children return in September. @DrRosena @KateCStock - will you help to stop these damaging cuts? @WandsworthNEU #SaveMNS mylondon.news/news/south-lon…

Deeds not words! The first thing you should do is step in to stop the planned cuts to public nurseries in Leeds @SaveLittleOwls Hackney @Save_Fernbank Wandsworth @WandsworthNEU & Brighton @SaveBrightStart - these cuts will reduce inclusion and accessibility and must be cancelled.

"We articulated our blueprint a long while ago and we should not have lost sight of it. We need for our children's sake as well as our own to revive it." A truly inspiring evening last night - we launched Helen Penn's new book & heard from campaigns to save nurseries 1/2
