MPs launch inquiry into early years funding

3 mins read Early Years
A cross-party group of MPs has launched an inquiry into early years funding in response to increasing numbers of nursery closures and provider concerns about their financial future.

The all-party parliamentary group for childcare and early education has launched the inquiry after early years providers raised concerns with MPs regarding funding at a lobbying event in July.

Two sessions of the inquiry will take place this month, the first on 14 November with evidence from parents and providers about their experiences of accessing and delivering childcare.

The second will involve early years experts including the Pre-school Learning Alliance (PSLA), the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) and research agency Ceeda.
