Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Across Cynon Valley, constituents frequently tell me how important the provision of good quality, locally accessible childcare is to allow them to progress their own careers and contribute to family finances. The significant additional funding of £100 million for childcare settings that was announced last week will be warmly welcomed by families and by childcare providers alike, as further evidence that our Welsh Labour Government is on the side of ordinary, working-class people, unlike their Tory counterparts in Westminster. First Minister, how will the Welsh Government ensure that information about the funding on offer is communicated to childcare settings so that uptake can be assured?
