What is the Governments view on the suggestion that childminders are the best option for the care of very young children after parental care?
The Government is investing in a range of services to provide the best choices for families so they can decide what is best for their children, and give every child the chance to succeed. The approach is three-fold: more opportunities for working parents to stay at home, or work flexibly; measures such as tax credits to improve living standards; and making excellent integrated early learning and childcare available to all who want it.
