  2. Totally agree with #alankohler that we should have government run #childcare centres; get rid of the subsidy to pay for it.

    How good would it be to have one drop off at your local state school?

  7. This new book explains why your elderly parents’ retirement home, the nursery where you drop your children, or the company that pipes water into your kitchen is taken over by an increasingly intricate and deregulated industry.

    If a private equity fund is "buying something using a lot a debt, [then] all of that debt is loaded onto the company that the private equity fund has acquired."
    "Private equity has moved into care homes, housing, water, nurseries and other essential services."
    "We have the power for it to be done otherwise."

  8. FUNDED CHILDCARE: Swansea families set to benefit as Welsh Government pumps £55m into expansion

    Hundreds more two-year-olds across Wales will get funded childcare under a new cash injection — with Swansea already among the first areas to offer it.

    Hundreds more families across Wales are in line for funded childcare after the Welsh Government announced a £55 million investment.

    The money will speed up the rollout of 12.5 hours of funded childcare a week for all two-year-olds, delivered through councils including in Swansea.

    Swansea was the second area in Wales to offer the scheme to every two-year-old, after Merthyr Tydfil, with Newport following soon after.

    Wrexham has now joined that list, becoming the first North Wales authority to reach the milestone.

    The £55m forms part of the Welsh Government’s First Supplementary Budget for 2026-27.

    It includes £10m of capital funding to expand and improve childcare settings, aimed at boosting the quality and number of places available.

    Ministers say the cash will help providers manage rising demand and stay afloat financially, while also supporting Welsh-medium childcare.

    That ties into the long-standing target of reaching one million Welsh speakers by 2050.

    The investment is a step towards the government’s wider promise of 20 hours of funded care a week for every child aged nine months to four years old.

    At full rollout, ministers claim that offer will be the most generous anywhere in the UK.

    Sioned Williams, the Plaid Cymru Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality, who holds the childcare brief, said the move showed the government was “accelerating our commitments to the families of Wales.”

    “Childcare costs in Wales are the highest in the UK and I am determined to help families all over Wales, while also supporting children’s development,” she said.

    She added that she was “particularly pleased” Wrexham was now expanding its offer, and that the government would keep working with councils to roll it out everywhere.

    Research by Coram Family and Childcare last year found Wales had the highest holiday childcare costs of the British nations, lending weight to her claim.

    A new expert steering group will advise on the next stages of the rollout, focusing on training enough staff, digital applications and improving access for families.

    The funding lands just days after the policy behind it caused chaos in the Senedd.

    Reform UK tabled a debate on 11 June demanding the new Plaid government publish full costings and a timetable for its childcare offer within its first 100 days.

    But the motion was amended to point out that Reform’s own election manifesto contained no childcare commitments — and in a tangle that drew mockery, 11 Reform members ended up voting for the amended motion attacking their own party.

    Reform has claimed the full childcare offer could cost between £388m and £710m a year, well above the roughly £400m figure Plaid has cited.

    The latest announcement also marks a change of guard, with funded childcare milestones celebrated earlier this year by the then Labour government’s children’s minister, Dawn Bowden.

    Welsh Labour lost power to Plaid Cymru at May’s Senedd election and now sits in opposition.

    The party gave the funding a cautious welcome.

    Lynne Neagle, Welsh Labour’s spokesperson for children, education and lifelong learning, welcomed the news that Wrexham would offer free childcare to all two-year-olds, and said she hoped more councils would follow.

    She said the previous Welsh Labour government had worked to expand Flying Start provision across Wales, and that it was “great to see the government commit to our manifesto pledge and continue this work.”

    But she said questions remained. “We await further information on the government’s supplementary budget, but as it stands there are still many unanswered questions around the funding commitments,” she said.

    Flying Start is the Welsh Government’s flagship early-years programme, offering childcare, parenting support and health visiting to families with young children.

    Funded childcare for two-year-olds is being expanded in phases, with the latest cash intended to widen access ahead of the next academic year.
