The Government have recently announce a new childcare scheme for families.
The scheme, due to arrive in April, will provide eligible working parents with funding for the first 15 hours of childcare a week for their 2-year-olds. In September, the same will be available for their 9-month-olds. And a year later all eligible parents will have access to 30 hours funded childcare for children aged 9 months all the way until they start school.
I was delighted to see how the professional staff at Busy Bees provide caring, quality childcare to local Dudley families.
I was also impressed with the facilities at the purpose-built Manderson Close site, and noted the enthusiasm of the children I met on the day.
