The report aims to show innovations that address the key issues of flexiblity, accessiblity and affordability for high quality childcare.
The
political debate over childcare in the UK has increased in intensity
and in urgency in recent years. This is hardly surprising given the
central role that childcare provision plays both in improving life
chances for children themselves and in enabling workplace participation
for parents.
The provision of childcare has increased dramatically over the last
two decades. As late as 1990, there were just 59,000 nursery places in
England and Wales, compared with over 1.8 million places today. But the
time is now ripe for innovation that could address problems such as high
prices for parents, very low profit margins for providers, gaps in
provision and a lack of flexibility in delivery.
