| After-school places have expanded fastest. |
Labour has pledged to increase the number of childcare places and give a larger subsidy to less well-off families to help pay for them.
It also pledges to increase after- school care and nursery places.
Many families still use informal carers, like grandparents, because they cannot afford formal child care.
The Conservatives want a £50 per week tax credit which could be paid to any carer, while Lib Dems want more early care centres.
