Under-fives are set to get free childcare in England and Welsh parents want this matched.
By Charanpreet KhairaParents are calling on the Welsh government to offer the same financial support for childcare as England., to help get parents back to work.The Welsh government said high-quality childcare was already being rolled out.
Mother-of-two Jade Lily, 30, from Cardiff, started the petition after hearing the experiences of other parents through her Instagram page Mum Life."I saw that when the UK government announced their childcare policy, a lot of Welsh parents wrongly assumed it would apply to them. "I have waited since March to find out what the Welsh government plans on doing with the money given to them by the UK government to go towards childcare and there has been no update."Working parents of two-year-olds will get 15 hours of free childcare per week from April 2024All eligible under-fives will get 30 hours from September 2025
Meanwhile, the Welsh government has two funded childcare schemes for children aged two, three and four., parents and guardians of three and four-year-olds can claim up to 30 hours of free childcare each week, for up to 48 weeks of the year, provided they meet certain criteria., which provides 12.5 hours of free childcare to some two-year-olds living in more deprived areas of Wales.
This is undergoing a phased expansion and will eventually be available to all two-year-olds as part of a co-operation agreement between the Welsh government and Plaid Cymru.
