Important words from @JonBroadbery of @NDNAtalk - sustainable funding for providers will be key to delivering a childcare system that can provide support and be accessed by families in every corner of the country.
Listen to NDNA’s Director of Policy @JonBroadbery @BBCNorfolk this morning from 1hr 40mins: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0jfvw…
Great Yarmouth is one of the worst areas in England for accessing childcare.
“Funding doesn’t cover the cost of delivering places, these hours are not free for providers or parents.”
In some parts of Norfolk there are 5 or 6 children per available place.

NDNA in the press 📢
Our Capital Grant Funding investigation is featured on @NurseryWorld.
The figures on the use of this fund are shocking. The National Audit Office found that we need to create 85,000 new places by September 2025 but only a tiny fraction of funding earmarked to support this has been allocated and distributed. 👇
