Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Firstly, I must say how pleased I am to hear that Rhondda Cynon Taf will be one of the pilot authorities in this scheme. I’m sure it will bring enormous benefits to my area. I have three questions for you today. Firstly, Cabinet Secretary, I wonder what consideration you have given to flexible and alternative models of childcare delivery that fully take account of and complement the differing models of nursery education and childcare provision currently on offer in the different local authorities in Wales. In addition, while I very much welcome the Cabinet Secretary’s reference to the provision of childcare during the school holidays, I wonder what consideration he has given to the importance of really drilling down into the logistics of this school holiday provision, which is so important. Because the enhanced wraparound offer being put forward really has the opportunity to make a real difference in tackling, for example, the scandal of children going hungry in school holidays, but in order to do that we really need to make sure that we get the offer right.

Finally, I’d welcome a more detailed update from the Cabinet Secretary on the Talk Childcare strategy. I think this is a very good way to engage with parents and with providers, but I’d be keen to know how the Welsh Government is engaging with the hardest-to-reach groups who may perhaps need more urgent intervention.
