This report from UK think tank IPPR exploring the case for a childcare guarantee in England.

This paper is the second of two exploring the case for a childcare guarantee in England. This paper argues that delivering a childcare guarantee would rely on three core shifts – towards a sustainable funding settlement, a new deal for the early years workforce, and to drive up quality and ensure a sufficient supply of childcare places in every neighbourhood.
