This is a (mis) quote from a thread on MN this week.
But it could be true; everyone is entitled to a NHS dentist but they are quite rare.
The low amounts that nurseries are being paid for 3yo funding is ridiculously low in a lot of areas; if a 'private' space costs £5-8 an hour and a funded space is being paid at £3-5 Nurseries will simply stop providing these places.
Already nurseries in my area have closed due to this issue; in addition the children's centres round here are about to reach the end of their subsidies.
I can't see anyone 'fixing' childcare in the near future; are there any ways that the future of childcare can be secured as realistically it's not looking good.
If you were in charge how would you deal with the issue?
