A mass exodus of childminders and nursery staff risks scuppering the government’s flagship new funding for parents of young children in England, according to a new coalition of early years providers and campaigners. More than half of all nursery workers surveyed by the Early Education and Childcare Coalition (EECC) said they were considering or planning on leaving the sector in the next 12 months. In the spring budget, the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, announced plans to massively extend the government’s offer of 30 hours of “free childcare” to children aged between nine months and two years by 2025, billing it as “the single biggest investment in childcare in England”. But the EECC said there are likely to be a “lot of disappointed parents” if staffing means places are undeliverable.
