Crisis in Day Care 19 Jul 2006
Could the Government's policy of free nursery education for all actually reduce the nursery places available? Kent County Council has announced that the Government's strategy is "unworkable" and have suspended its implementation pending a meeting with Department of Education officials. The problem is a new funding regime which could potentially force thousands of day nurseries out of business.

Jenni discusses the issues with Clare Schofield from the National Association of Day Nurseries, and Joan Humble MP, chair of the all-party Parliamentary Group on childcare.
