Conor McGinn met with local representatives of the National Day Nurseries Association to discuss childcare and issues affecting local providers
The meeting took place at Moss Bank Porticos Nursery and was organised by Nicole Politis, director of Porticos Nurseries as an opportunity for local private and voluntary child care providers to talk to Conor about their worries that the Government will not be able to provide adequate funding to meet their promise of providing 30 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds.
хЪAfter meeting with the local providers,хЪConor said: “As a dad with a young child, I know that access to high-quality and affordable child care is important to parents. The Government’s promise to extend provision of free childcare has to be matched by properly funding to enable local nurseries to continue to provide and expand the services they deliver.”
