Labour has announced a comprehensive plan to address the childcare crisis in the UK, pledging to create 100,000 additional childcare places and more than 3,000 new nurseries. The policy aims to make high-quality childcare accessible to all families and improve life chances for children. Labour's plan will be funded by ending tax breaks for private schools. The party has criticized the Conservatives for failing to deliver on their childcare promises and highlighted the urgent need for reform as families struggle with the high costs and limited availability of childcare. Labour will also advance their Early Years Review within the first year of government.
