Change the 30 free childcare hours to include Ofsted registered nannies
We believe nannies chances of employment are drastically reducing due to the 30 free hours only being offered to childminders and nursery settings, and call on the government to include registered nannies in the offer.

Allow unpaid trainee teachers on placement to access 30 hours of free childcare

Simplify the process for parents to claim entitlement to 30 Hour Free Childcare
We call on the Government to introduce legislative and operational changes to the administration of 30 hours free childcare entitlement so that eligible parents are not exposed to avoidable financial hardship and emotional distress caused by short reconfirmation windows and unclear wording.
Change childcare funding eligibility to be based on household income up to £200k
Change the criteria for funded childcare so that eligibility is based on joint household income of up to £200k rather than individual thresholds. Current rules exclude many families where one parent earns above the limit, meaning a lot of households and individuals can face financial pressures.
Do not remove the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders from April 2026
Retain the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders, or introduce an equivalent alternative that reflects the additional household costs of providing regulated childcare from home and helps ensure childminding remains financially sustainable.
