Labour — Dartford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 September 2025

Debate

Early Education and Childcare

Contribution

The latest figures show that Dartford has seen the second largest rise in families with children of any area in the country, so my constituents will hugely welcome the additional free childcare hours and the new school nurseries that will result from this week’s announcement. Does the Minister agree that not only will these changes give Dartford children the best start in life, they will help Dartford parents get into and sustain work?
