🏆Our final #researchoftheweek of 2024 goes to @IPPR and @savechildrenuk for their report 'The Childcare Challenge.' (1/8) 🔗ippr.org/articles/the-c…
It’s excellent news that the government is committed to expanding childcare, but increased entitlement must be matched by more provision and places. 📻 @JodeReed on @BBCWomansHour 👇
Fantastic news from government on a 45% uplift to early years pupil premium. Someone must have read my report for @IPPR @savechildrenuk yesterday!
