Join in the UK's biggest ever event to End Child Poverty- Keep the Promise London Saturday 4 October

On Saturday October 4th 2008 thousands of young people, families and supporters of the End Child Poverty Campaign from across the country will be coming together in London’s Trafalgar Square to demand the Government keep their promise to end child poverty.

Play your part in the Campaign to End Child Poverty and demand the Prime Minister provides a better future for all our children. Coming to Keep the Promise is a key way to show your support, but there are other ways we need your help also.

re: Mr Balls's Children's Plan and funding for 2 year olds

Have they already identified 2 year olds as "falling behind"? How did they measure that - how did they event find out about them?!

I don't know much about whats what with the sector for this age group - but I do have a 3 year old & 4 year old and as a parent I don't think children in Nursery at age 2 is the best solution. I would much rather any new incentives were aimed at helping keep parents at home while they have children of this age. I agree that playgroups are important so for me it would be to relieve the pressure on both parents to have to go back to work so while they have infants, and to encourage them to get involved with local playgroups - maybe those two things can go hand in hand somehow?

Some interesting comments, I am currently researching the benefits of using Children's Centre childcare provision for working parents and your blog raises issues that are pertinent to it.
