Parents could get cash handouts in plans being considered by the government to tackle sky-high childcare costs
"Childcare is vital: for parents, for children, for our economy and for our society, but these half-baked plans show the Conservatives have no idea how to create a system that works for families," she said.
"Labour will create a modern childcare system that supports parents from the end of parental leave through to the end of primary school, starting with free breakfast clubs for every child in every primary school in England." A DfE spokesperson said: "We are exploring a wide range of options to make childcare more accessible and affordable for parents, but no decisions have been made."
The UK is facing a worsening cost of living crisis, with childcare one of many things adding up to put financial pressure on households. Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng outlined a mini budget on September 23, with a number of tax-cutting measures aiming to alleviate the immediate cost of living squeeze.A focus group organised by LBC's News Agents with research group More in Common suggested that both Conservative and Labour voters were opposed to Mr Kwarteng's plans.
