Labour Government provides 30 hours of free childcare support for working families.

From today, the Labour Government is funding 30 hours of childcare, giving children the best start in life and saving families around £7,500 a year. This will also help parents balance work and family life, with many able to take on extra hours at work – good news for families and employers alike.

In Hull North and Cottingham, school-based nurseries have been expanded at Bricknell Primary School, St Anthony’s VC Academy, and St Mary Queen of Martyrs VC Academy. These nurseries will help children become familiar with a school environment from an early age while offering parents greater choice and flexibility.

And this is just the beginning. Through our Best Start campaign, Labour is building a strong foundation of support for families - with a new one-stop shop now available for parents to access childcare, advice, and services. Please this available here: Homepage | Best Start in Life
