🍾🍋Round and round we go! Yet another one going down. What will happen once the places 'free' places has all gone. @nadhimzahawi this policy is killing our amazing sector. @TracyBrabin how can we stop this once and for all? https://t.co/tG1cgT8qg9
@vickymaykin Just makes us shudder to think of the consequences of children going into school so young. Research has shown what is best for children but they still continue to not listen!
@CNLFcampaign no use of the ‘f’ word in @educationgovuk tweet but is still on ‘Childcare Choices’ website. When will they accept that these hours are FUNDED not Free?
The keynote speech will given by @nadhimzahawi@childcareexpo tomorrow morning, @CNLFcampaign will be there.Simply stunned with this mornings announcement concerning MNS being given an extra £60m funding to remain sustainable. What about the PVI sector?

🍾🍋 @nadhimzahawi Please find attached a guide for your literacy 'idea' for Clarks shoe fitters! Clarks shoe fitters who will be needed to step up when the EYs sector crumbles with the lack of government support. @TracyBrabin your thoughts?

@piersmorgan@GMB Dissapointed you didn’t have anyone running a childcare business since 30 hrs “free” childcare was implemented on, to challenge Nadhim Zahawi’s view that it’s been an amazing success! Because it’s not free and it’s lulling parents into a false sense of security
@piersmorgan I work in childcare industry and ask why when there are so many questions to ask Zahawi, why for heavens sake let him talk about Brexit - 30 Hours is a MASSIVE problem for England and soon-to-be Scotland and Wales #fundednotfree
@piersmorgan@GMB 🍾🍋Interesting to hear @nadhimzahawi celebrating the 30 hours of 'free' childcare which is strangling our sector. We want to support parents but NOT at the cost of our businesses. Would be great if you could hear the provider perspective!
🍾🍋@nadhimzahawi We implore you to listen and to see what is happening to our precious and very passionate sector. We believe the link below puts the issue into a business context which you may well understand. Look forward to your comment.

🍾🍋@nadhimzahawi We do not know how you can call the current system 'successful', it is breaking the sector and it could soon be to late for it to be fixed!
Are you willing to meet with us and hear what we think would help? https://t.co/VmX6dNumKK
We have also published our ‘model agreement’ setting out how childcare providers and councils can continue working successfully together so that even more parents can get their child into a 30 hours place: https://t.co/VIZZJfiGti
@nadhimzahawi 🍾🍋How can you call this successful when the sector is at breaking point?
The fundin does not cover our costs and is only getting worse.
What are YOU going to do to listen to providers?
CEO Purnima on @BBCBreakfast this morning: nurseries can't continue absorbing the cost of funded hours - great for parents but more nurseries having to close because can't cover their costs
A must read document, only wish the Government would read & understand that just because 1000's of children are access 30 hours it doesn't mean the providers are financially sustainable if they offer them for free! Don't call them 'free' called the 'subsidised' https://t.co/6uc1bwz7HH
