Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:12 pm on 16 November 2016.
Indeed, the Member is right. This isn’t just a childcare offer—there is a whole raft of skills required behind that, in terms of business acumen, opportunities and training. I’ve started discussions with the education Cabinet Secretary, the skills Minister, the children’s commissioner and a raft of other organisations that are interested in making the best of what we’re trying to deliver here. Social Business Wales, funded through Cwlwm, the childcare consortium, and local authority business support, is something that I’m keen to make sure continues out in the community, supporting the very investments that the Member talks about.
