National childcare week 2008

Daycare Trust’s National childcare week, now in its 11th year, aims to promote the importance of investing in childcare, out-of-school activities and early years' provision for children to strengthen and contribute to children’s play and learning.

Quality, affordable childcare can build brighter futures for everyone. It gives children a good start in life. It enables parents to work or train and it contributes to a prosperous society by supporting employers and regenerating local communities. It also underpins policies to tackle social exclusion, create jobs and raise educational standards. This year Daycare Trust will be inviting everyone to join us in celebrating National Childcare Week, which will be held from 2–9 June 2008.

We very much hope that you will join in with one of the events or activities that are being planned. Alternatively, why not organise your own event to mark National childcare week and help us to make it bigger and brighter than ever?
