Government response

Milestones

1. Increase, publish and properly allocate funding to match the actual cost of delivery 2. Funding to support, train and retain skilled early years professionals 3. Allow providers to charge fair fees if funding doesn't meet the cost of delivery

Help equal access to high quality early education for all. We believe: • Parents deserve clear, honest information about how much funding is provided by the government • Early years providers need sustainable funding that reflects the true cost of delivering quality care, paying fair wages, and maintaining safe, nurturing environments. • Children deserve access to high-quality early education that supports their development, well-being, and future success We think our children deserve quality, parents deserve transparency, providers deserve sustainability.
