Progress in next twelve months will be crucial, says MHK
The government's new plan aiming to address challenges around childcare provisions on Island has received support from politicians.
Members of Tynwald have voted in favour of receiving the Childcare Strategy and approving the proposed plan of work set out in it following a motion today from Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Julie Edge.
The document says the overarching vision for the strategy includes making childcare affordable, supporting children with additional or complex needs and ensuring provision meets demand.
