Supporting early years providers to keep nurseries open and costs down for parents as inflation reaches a record high “needs to be at the heart of our political agenda”, the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) has warned.
It says that providers are already having to pass on their increasing costs to parents, which is unsustainable as families struggle to pay their own rising bills.
This leaves nurseries facing the threat of closure which “causes heartbreak for the local community and can be devastating for a young child”, according to NDNA chief executive Purnima Tanuku.
