A coalition of early years organisations and nurseries are calling on the Government to consider new childcare funding options, including making the 15 hours universal from the age of two and paying a 'premium rate' for disadvantaged children.
The coalition, convened by charitable foundation Kindred2, has identified a series of what it is calling ‘practical and affordable options' for improved early years funding in England, published within an analysis by Frontier Economics.
Members of the coalition include Early Education and nursery groups LEYF and Ark Start.
