Committee chosen to assess lack of places
An investigation is to be carried out into the adequacy of nursery provision in the Island, following claims just one in ten infants are able to secure a place.
The issue has been raised a number of times in recent months, with families claiming it's been 'impossible' to put their children in any of the Island's 52 private day care centres.
It will now be investigated by Tynwald's Social Affairs Policy Review Committee, after an amended motion put forward by North Douglas MHK David Ashford earlier this week.
Mr Ashford, who originally sought a standalone committee to explore the issue, says it's not just a problem for parents:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
