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’s objective is to secure access to high quality affordable childcare for all children in Great Britain, where and when they and their parents and carers want and need it, and at a price they can afford.
We've come a long way with our work, but there remains a considerable way to go before this is achieved. With your support, we hope to be able to achieve our objectives. There are a number of ways that you can support us.
Your donations are vitally important to Daycare Trust, and there are many ways in which you can donate.

We've linked up with Skyline to offer free tandem jumps to our supporters. Simply raise £395.00 or more, and you can experience the excitement of freefalling from 10,000 feet at 120mph before gliding softly back to earth, leaving a donation of at least £140.00 to Daycare Trust.
Book you place now and please contact Julie, on 020 7840 3350 or cjoseph@daycaretrust.org.uk, to let us know of your interest.

Report reveals childcare is the luxury that families have to afford as figures show that nursery, childminder and after-school club costs are all rising at more than double the rate of inflation.
