NEW from coalition member @EYAlliance:
24% of providers expect to close due to financial pressures, while new analysis from @WomensBudgetGrp finds the expansion is underfunded by £5bn
Gov must use #SpringBudget to boost funding or this expansion will fail

Where should I go? 🤔
It can be difficult to decide what to do when your child is ill or has suffered an injury.
That’s why it’s important to familiarise yourself with Choose Well, so you can make the right decision.
Find out more on our website: sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/pa…
ALT Where should I go? Jude has a cough, so her carer is stopping at the Pharmacy. Ross has a high temperature and feels dehydrated, so his mum has booked a GP appointment. Alicia is struggling to breathe. Her mum is taking her to the ED. Not sure? Search 'NHS 111' or 'South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Healthier Together' for further advice.

What is the end goal of the childcare arms race?
“Instead of competing to offer more state-funded childcare as a sticking plaster on cost-of-living challenges, we should address structural reasons why family budgets are now so stretched.”

"We will have parents knocking on our doors saying: 'I want this entitlement', and we won’t have the staff to deliver it.”
Our concerns about the extended early entitlement offer were covered in this front-page Independent story over the weekend: bit.ly/3Gxo4os

"Ministers are promising parents the world and expecting providers to deliver, without giving them any of the resources needed to do so."
We explain why many providers haven't yet confirmed whether they will deliver the extended offer in @GraziaUK bit.ly/3uFyLmp

Minimum wage rises from April by 15% for 18-20YOs. New #NationalLivingWage of £11.44 will apply to over 20s.
From April @TheIFS estimates Govt will be buying 80% of EY places, so employers entirely reliant on sufficient funding rate.

Wednesday's #AutumnStatement is a chance to provide early years services with the funding they urgently need. As founding members of @CoalitionEdCare we urge the Chancellor to listen.👇
On #WorldChildrensDay, we're calling on @Jeremy_Hunt to use the #AutumnStatement to support the people who educate and care for 4.6 million children in England every year. He must use his Statement to stabilise the sector ahead of next year's expansion. 1/4

The Alliance is warning that it is vital that early years funding is increased in line with these wage rises.
