Childcare and the recession

25 June 2009

Over the last decade Government policy has increased access to early childhood education and
care for two reasons. Firstly, to enable parents to return to work, maximising their family income
and enabling women to balance a career with having a family; and second, to provide children
with a quality early years experience to give them a head-start in life before they start school,
redressing the effects of social and economic deprivation on children’s life chances.
