How many children aged under three should childminders and nursery staff be allowed to look after at the same time?
A relaxation in the number of pre-school children that nurseries and registered childminders can oversee has been announced in order to professionalise the pre-school workforce and cut the cost of childcare in England.
Daycare Trust has been working for high quality, accessible, and affordable childcare throughout the UK for over 25 years. We are pleased to announce that we now offer membership in China.
Recent work that has been featured in the Chinese news includes Daycare Trust’s survey carried out in partnership with Mumsnet. This looked at the effects that the costs of childcare have on Mums returning to work or education.
As a leading childcare charity, Daycare Trust now has a membership offer specifically tailored for members in China. As a member you will receive exclusive access to a members only area of our website, add your voice to the National childcare campaign, as well as receiving a package of support and benefits. These, plus helpful information and resources, will help to keep you up to speed with what is happening in childcare policy.
For further information please contact Anthony Ellison, Membership and Families First Officer at aellison@daycaretrust.org.uk.

The two charities merged on 1 January 2013 and the new charity will be launched in April 2013.
