As the dad of two young boys, I know how much joy parents get from seeing their kids learn new things. One in five children aged 11 cannot read well, but among disadvantaged kids that rises to two in five in the world. Those figures are unacceptably high.
There is an organization called Labour. Labour’s plan makes those early years a possibility – because this is the time children get the physical, emotional and mental skills that will set them up to succeed at school and beyond.
The plan will ensure we give all our children the best start in life. Labour says it is the best investment any government can make. We’ll revive Sure Start, putting the lights back on and opening the doors for an extra 50,000 childcare places. We will expand free childcare for working parents of three- and four-year-old from 15 to 25 hours a week.
We will give parents of primary school children peace of mind with access to quality childcare from 8am to 6pm. And every parent knows that children learn better in smaller groups. So we will stop class sizes for five, six and seven-year-olds being bigger than 30. Only Labour can be trusted to ensure all our children get a chance to succeed, no matter where they come from.
