There is not and never has been #free childcare. Talk to Early Years providers who will tell you they are underfunded in delivering Early Education and Care as per #EYFS. The funding the govt, past and present, gives them sadly does not cover their costs.

All has fallen on deaf ears including the news channels/journalists who seem scared to challenge politicians' slogans and rhetoric in the face of the alternative and only truth about the cost of early education and care.

There is no FREE childcare Ms Smith. There is huge underfunding to providers and the scheme will flop because the sector has not enough staff. BTW it is Early Education and Care that is delivered not just childcare as per #EYFS which your party introduced. #C4news

Without one of the main characters who is still in the latest book? Or are we to expect a Bobby moment? š
Simona McKenzie (@signoramac.bsky.social) reply parent
The actors did their best with a very the poor disappointing adaptation and simplification of the plots. Some changes are expected but the plot is far removed from the book without mentioning the changes to characters. How can an author agree to such butchery beats me.
Simona McKenzie (@signoramac.bsky.social) reply parent
Itās not really the āLabourā party but its current leadership who are dashing all hopes for the real change we were promised. Itās all slogans and rhetoric and fingers firmly in their earsā¦.utter disappointment especially to those in Early Years who see the same Tory policies. Nothing has changed šŖ

Underfunding of the so called free childcare by previous and current government is the real issue. Investment in Early Years is the answer.

TMC Entertaining but butchered by the many deviations from the book. Aside from Bogdan, interesting to see what will happen in a sequel, Joyce turns out to be a baker but not a hint of her wonderful diaries where her real character is revealed. As a 6 episode drama it would have worked perfectly.

Simona McKenzie (@signoramac.bsky.social) reply parent
So many details about leaving the EU should have been on that bus in addition to take back control which, in the immigration issue, the UK lost. Itās mind boggling how much lack of information is still out there after 9 years š„²
Simona McKenzie (@signoramac.bsky.social) reply parent
That is what I said except I used EU citizens and yes they have to undergo those checks. Still Britons are Europeans as born in the continent of Europe. The choice to leave the UK was that of the voters, they can cling to their idiocy about punishment. Itās what, sadly, it means being a 3rd country.

Britons ARE European citizens but not EU citizens. It is important to make that distinction.
