Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, it is the turn of the Lib Dem Benches.
Baroness Walmsley (LD)
My Lords, in providing additional childcare places, will the Government ensure that the additional staff are well trained and highly skilled? Perhaps we should be replacing the word “childcare” with the phrase “early education”, to make sure that children develop well and to give parents going back to work the confidence that their children will be properly looked after.
