Liz Truss has warned her successor Rishi Sunak not to scrap her proposed childcare reforms.
It comes amid growing concern among Tory MPs over the ‘unaffordable’ and spiralling costs that parents face.
During her short stint as prime minister, Ms Truss fast-tracked plans to offer more help. A third of women say childcare costs have forced them or their partners to consider quitting work.
But Mr Sunak has scrapped her plans to ditch mandatory staff-child ratios in nurseries, aimed at reducing overheads. Plans to extend free care for toddlers from 30 to 50 hours a week are also under review.
