In England, No Constituency Has Enough Childcare Spaces For All Under-Fives

Angela Lloyd

Dec 2

The lack of childcare provision is laid bare by figures showing no constituencies in England have enough spaces for all under-fives.

Despite a Government pledge to extend free childcare, research shared with a newspaper outlet, and highlights the lack of providers in most areas. Only 32 constituencies out of 533 did early years centres have more than 50 spaces for every 100 under-fives, according to data from the House of Commons library.

Many marginal Tory seats have acute shortages, such as Stoke on Trent North, which in August had just 16 places per 100 children.

Labour education spokesman Bridget Phillipson accused the Tories of 'pouring petrol onto the fire' by promising more free childcare but not providing enough spaces.

In an exclusive interview with a newspaper outlet, she also accused Conservative MPs of wanting to 'take women back decades' by failing to deliver.

Ms Phillipson warned that the 'old fashioned' ideas of the so-called 'New Conservatives' could deny women crucial economic freedom.

She insisted the Government had an important role in giving choices to parents by delivering free childcare.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has unveiled a huge expansion of free childcare to include children aged from nine months to four years in the 30 hours a week of paid-for care from September 2025.

It will be rolled out in stages, with working parents of two-year-olds able to access 15 hours a week from April.

Immigration has a lot to answer for and they don't just have one or two children either. Not only that, we are lacking hotels now as well. It's population excess rather than childcare place shortages.

You cannot deny that the United Kingdom has experienced a swell in population. Obviously, other countries have as well, but that's irrelevant here, this report is about the UK, not other countries.

Mass uncontrolled immigration puts pressure on our local services, education, housing, transport, utilities, health services et cetera. Just think of the infrastructure needed for last year's 1.2 million alone. It's unsustainable. Our Government is always going on about sustainable this, sustainable that. This is not sustainable at all!

I bet that all dinghy migrants have places from an endless taxpayer's pocket.

These daycare centres now look like refugee camps with this massive influx and so do our schools.

I'm not a racist or a bigot. I like everybody as long as they're nice to me, but the fact is that in the United Kingdom, we just don't have room - you can't stuff a grapefruit into a lemon and not expect it not to erupt!

Childcare is also very poorly paid and incredibly stressful and exhausting but someone has to do it, but with all these regulations, rules and paperwork I'd probably rather work in a supermarket and get paid better money.

However, this is what happens when you overload a country with immigrants who are willing to take less pay and longer hours.

Rishi Sunak stop accepting people into our country - we're full!
