Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:37 pm on 22 March 2017.
The Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children is leading the roll-out of the childcare offer, as the Member is aware, and a part of that—. One of the reasons for the pilots that will be starting in September in different parts of Wales is to ensure that we have both the workforce available—the workforce that’s appropriate to the needs of the childcare offer that’s being delivered—and that it’s delivered in the settings that would be appropriate as well. And that will involve a different mix in different places, at different times. The Cabinet Secretary has updated the Chamber on a number of occasions on these matters, and I’m sure he will continue to keep Members informed of the progress of the pilots.
