Less than 5 per cent of the funds available under the £100 million Government Childcare Expansion Capital Grant, have been distributed to early years providers, finds new data. https://t.co/7aCo61rh93
Important words from @JonBroadbery of @NDNAtalk - sustainable funding for providers will be key to delivering a childcare system that can provide support and be accessed by families in every corner of the country.

Our Capital Grant Funding investigation is featured on @NurseryWorld.
The figures on the use of this fund are shocking. The National Audit Office found that we need to create 85,000 new places by September 2025 but only a tiny fraction of funding earmarked to support this has been allocated and distributed. 👇
Talking about local & regional challenges really puts national issues into context. If you want to read more about childcare deserts you can read the important report by @NEF here - https://t.co/2BHg0g2C8h

In some parts of Norfolk there are 5 or 6 children per available place.
