Paragraph: 18
Spring Budget missed opportunity to reform tax-free childcare and enhance system flexibility
Conclusion
The Spring Budget announcements are a welcome sign that the Government has realised that urgent care and attention is needed in the childcare and early years education market. We particularly welcome the additional funding for Universal Credit entitlements and the additional investment in extending the subsidised hours, but feel that HM Treasury missed an opportunity to reform tax-free childcare and increase the flexibility of the system.
