12th ANNUAL NATIONAL CHILDCARE WEEK

That this House welcomes the 12th Annual National Childcare Week, organised by the Daycare Trust with the support of Children's Mutual; notes that the theme of the week is Foundations for the Future; and agrees that high quality and affordable childcare can build firm foundations for the future by giving children a good start in life, enabling their parents to work or train, and in the long term help to tackle social exclusion, create jobs and raise educational standards.
