Fiona Millar calls for a focus on affordable early years childcare.

16 Jun 2010

In an opinion piece in the Guardian on 11 June 2010, Fiona Millar, education campaigner, said: “there should be a big focus on affordable early years childcare. The biggest issue for most parents of under-fives is the quality of the people who are looking after their children when they’re in work. In Finland, everybody has to have a master’s degree to work in an early years setting.”
