Urgently Increase the rate paid to providers to deliver 30hour funded childcare.
From Sept17 working parents can claim 30hrs funded childcare. But the hourly rate paid to providers will cause unsustainability.

The childcare Bill (2015) states:
Getting the funding right is essential for the successful delivery of the extended entitlement. The national average rates for both 2,3&4 yr olds will increase by at least 30pph.
Caroline Dineage(minister for early years) states:“The ability to deliver 30hrs childcare to all 3&4yr olds of working parents is dependent on getting the right funding package in place”.
This has not happened:
Current costs per hour per child average £5.50. Providers are paid £3.90 phpc (Liverpool) for15hrs funded childcare per week. A loss of £1.60 pcph. From Sept17 the rate is £4.10phpc for 30hrs childcare. A loss of £1.40 pcph with other supplements being cut by up to 2/3. meaning less money overall and no extra hours to sell at full rate.
