These will <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/09/exclusive-labour-pledges-to-create-more-than-100000-new-nursery-places">reportedly</a> be run by the schools themselves, or local private providers as opposed to the government investing in state-run children’s centres with properly qualified and remunerated staff. </p> <p>What Rishi Sunak’s government has been working on, already, is <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-68712384">a multiphase plan </a>to secure 30 hours of free childcare for preschool children of working parents by September 2025.

Because of government subsidies to the sector, under the successive Conservative governments since 2010, the most successful businesses became investment vehicles. The impact for families and staff both has been disastrous.</p> <h2>Childcare goes private</h2> <p>British state-funded nursery education <a href="https://journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/vol-56-issue-3/article-6152/">dates back to the 1920s</a>. To begin with provision was free, delivered by highly trained teachers, and situated in generous premises with outside space and equipment. But it was limited. </p><div class="slot clear" data-id="17"> <div class="inline-promos-skeleton"> <h5></h5> <button></button> </div> </div> <p>Although originally intended for working families, by the 1950s, because of prevailing views about mother’s domestic roles, it was mostly offered on a part-time basis, two to three hours per day. In the 1970s and 1980s, women began campaigning for the right to be more than housewives. This included access to childcare and nursery education. </p> <p>Many innovative local authorities, most notably the Greater London Council, supported community nurseries to fill the gaps. <a href="https://on-the-record.org.uk/projects/grow-your-own/">Several hundred</a> such community nurseries were set up, mainly in urban areas. They were small-scale projects, often run collectively. And they established innovative and democratic ways of working. </p> <p>In 1997, Tony Blair’s New Labour government accepted that women had a right to work and that the workforce needed women’s labour. It launched a variety of initiatives concerning young children, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/23716488">to mixed reviews</a>. <a href="https://theconversation.com/sure-start-improves-childrens-health-new-study-118193">Sure Start</a>, the most overhyped of these initiatives, focused mostly on family support and mother’s wellbeing. </p> <hr> <p> <em> <strong> Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/how-englands-scrapped-sure-start-centres-boosted-the-health-and-education-of-disadvantaged-children-227712">How England's scrapped Sure Start centres boosted the health and education of disadvantaged children</a> </strong> </em> </p> <hr> <p>However, the programme distracted attention away from childcare for working parents. The <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09669760.2014.968533">Children’s Centres</a> programme was Labour’s most innovative. Most often based within existing high quality, free-standing nursery schools, these expanded childcare provision, within the existing state sector. These offered full-time places to children under three, as well as to children of nursery age. In the last 14 years many of these integrated children’s centres have been closed, but a few still remain, albeit <a href="https://www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/save-hackney-s-children-centres.">struggling to survive</a>.</p> <p>The Labour government under the aegis of the (then) Department of Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform rather than the Department of Education saw private nurseries as thriving small business enterprises and also wanted to coordinate their activities with the state sector. Private childcare by then appeared to be a cheap and flexible option, much cheaper than anything the state could provide. </p> <figure class="align-center "> <div class="placeholder-container" style="--aspect-ratio-percent:66.71087533156499%;--background-color:#2f4c54"><img alt="Nursery staff take small children in high-vis vests to a park." class="lazyload" data-src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=754&fit=clip" data-srcset="https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=600&h=400&fit=crop&dpr=1 600w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=30&auto=format&w=600&h=400&fit=crop&dpr=2 1200w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=15&auto=format&w=600&h=400&fit=crop&dpr=3 1800w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=754&h=503&fit=crop&dpr=1 754w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=30&auto=format&w=754&h=503&fit=crop&dpr=2 1508w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/603369/original/file-20240627-17-x7zu8j.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=15&auto=format&w=754&h=503&fit=crop&dpr=3 2262w" sizes="(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px"></div> <figcaption> <span class="caption">Childcare provision has become a private enterprise.</span> <span class="attribution"><a class="source" href="https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/portsmouth-hampshire-uk-12152019-group-nursery-1610714194">Seadog81/Shutterstock</a></span> </figcaption> </figure> <p>It was assumed supply and demand were sufficiently responsive to ensure that childcare needs were met wherever they arose. Under Gordon Brown as chancellor of the exchequer, the <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/21">Childcare Act 2006</a> was passed which stipulated that local authorities had a new duty to secure sufficient childcare provision to meet the needs of families. Councils were expected to do this through the market, that is, <a href="https://newstartedu.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Childcare-Act-2006.pdf">in concert</a> with the private, voluntary and independent sectors, as opposed to providing it themselves.</p> <p>Private nurseries expanded rapidly as a result. Small-scale business enterprises began to buy up what remained of local authority daycare provision and council-funded community nurseries. </p> <hr> <p> <em> <strong> Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-the-uk-childcare-system-is-at-breaking-point-168151">Why the UK childcare system is at breaking point</a> </strong> </em> </p> <hr> <p>Subsequent governments from 2010 continued to focus on private provision. Eligibility criteria for private childcare places were expanded and funding streams identified. The growth of private provision was <a href="https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10142357/7/Childcare%20Main%20Report%20010222.pdf">exponential</a>.</p> <p>Ferocious <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/aug/04/childcare-sector-england-not-playground-private-equity-experts-say">acquisitions and mergers</a> consolidated the biggest nursery firms and created large companies funded through debt and managed through offshore accounting. Currently, like many other privatised industries, there are patterns of excessive profits, large bonuses for senior company staff, and payouts to shareholders, whilst the service itself is squeezed as much as possible. </p> <p>The regulatory body, <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a816a33ed915d74e623223b/06_Methodology_and_quality_report_-_childcare_providers_and_inspections.pdf">Ofsted</a>, which monitors standards in schools, is ill-equipped to deal with the private nursery sector. It has no remit to explore value for money: it does not ask about ownership and it cannot raise any financial questions. </p> <p>Ofsted also only inspects once every six years and, in terms of child wellbeing, the standards against which it assesses establishments are very low. It does not even include a mandatory requirement for outside space for nurseries even in urban areas.</p> <p>It is clear, however, that these childcare policies have had <a href="https://neweconomics.org/2024/05/childcare-deserts-the-reality-of-access-to-early-years-education">disastrous results</a>. The poorest families or those with children with special needs have been excluded from private childcare nurseries. </p> <hr> <p> <em> <strong> Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-people-who-care-for-and-educate-our-children-deserve-better-pay-heres-why-that-would-help-us-all-201525">The people who care for and educate our children deserve better pay - here's why that would help us all</a> </strong> </em> </p> <hr> <p>Further, staffing has plummeted: people in the sector are <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-people-who-care-for-and-educate-our-children-deserve-better-pay-heres-why-that-would-help-us-all-201525">badly paid</a> and poorly qualified. Unsurprisingly, there are chronic staff shortages. Appalling adult-child ratios have been reportedly linked to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/20/nursery-death-of-baby-genevieve-meehan-raises-troubling-questions">several child deaths</a>.</p> <p>A 2021 report from <a href="https://www.unicef.org/innocenti/media/5431/file/UNICEF-Where-Do-Rich-Countries-Stand-on-Childcare-2021.pdf">Unicef</a> ranking rich countries in terms of childcare provision put the UK almost at the bottom. The quality of British provision was regarded as so poor that it could not even be given a rating.</p> <p>Labour’s proposals for school-based childcare are important but so far we have only the barest bones. They will require major additional commitments to train, recruit and pay staff. Better regulation is crucial to stop big private nursery providers making excessive profits.</p> </div> <div class="grid-ten grid-prepend-two large-grid-nine grid-last content-topics topic-list"> <i
