00:00So, the Conservatives have really broken our childcare system, so Labour is absolutely
00:06committed to fixing it, and we'll deliver it by creating over 3,000 new nurseries, 100,000
00:15places for children, because we know that whilst the government have made a lot of promises
00:20on childcare, they haven't actually got a plan to deliver it and make sure those places
00:26are there, and we know how important childcare is, not just to children and their development
00:31and getting that best start in their early years and ensuring by the time they get to
00:36school they are school ready, but also making sure that parents can get to work and can
00:42improve their life chances as well.
