Emergency budget - NCMA's response
On Tuesday 22 June 2010 the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, George Osborne, delivered his Emergency Budget
which set out tax breaks and tax cuts. He also announced
the the date for the next Comprehensive Spending Review, which
is due to take place on 20 October.
NCMA has urged the Government to
use the next spending review to support registered childminders and
nannies to remain a high-quality childcare choice.
Catherine Farrell and Liz
Bayram, NCMA Joint Chief Executive, said:
"This budget will increase financial
pressures on parents, registered childminders and nannies at a time
when the sustainability of childcare providers is a real issue.
"It is vital that the Government uses
the next Spending Review to support registered childminders and
nannies to remain a high-quality childcare choice for working
families.
"Childcare plays a vital role in
supporting economic recovery, by enabling working parents to
continue to work. Nannies and childminders can also help government
achieve its goal of supporting lone parent families back into work,
once their youngest child reaches school age."
