Childcare Wales Learning and Working Mutually has drawn just over 132,000 from the European Social Fund's Equal programme to devise and research ways to support the sector and promote equal opportunities. This sum will be match-funded and used to prepare bids for further cash.
Partners include Play Wales, which is working on training to attract more men into the play sector, and Welsh language childcare organisation Mudiad Ysogolion Meithrin, which will develop training to address a shortage of bilingual workers.
