New DWP child support measures which could see families save up to £160 a month
With the cost of living continuing to put a strain on households, the Department for Work and Pensions has announced a package of measures that will increase childcare support for parents. The government today outlined ambitious new plans to improve the cost, choice and availability of childcare - which could see parents save up to £160 per month.
To drive down costs for providers and parents, a new consultation will look at increasing the number of children that can be looked after by each staff member in early years settings. It will propose changing staff-to-child ratios from 1:4 to 1:5 for two-year-olds, giving providers more flexibility in how they run their businesses while maintaining safety and quality of care.
Education Secretary, Nadhim Zahawi said: "Every child deserves a great start in life and that means giving families the support they need. Childcare is an integral part of our economy, and these reforms prove again that this government is on the side of working families. The government will also increase choice and affordability for parents by taking action to open up the childminder market. The government will support more people to become childminders by:
