DfE says 85,000 more free childcare places needed

The Government estimates around 85,000 new childcare places will be required by September 2025 in England, with a pilot program starting to repurpose school space for this purpose.
An additional 40,000 staff are projected to be hired by September 2025 to support the expansion of funded childcare, a "really ambitious game" according to campaigners.
The proposed policy aims to provide 30 hours of free childcare per week for working families with children aged nine months to four years old, requiring all adults in the household to work at least 16 hours.
