Text

This is a really successful announcement today. I will focus particularly on the roll-out of the full-time nursery provision. That has been welcomed by so many families, and, of course, I welcome the increase to 65%, with 100 more settings announced today. Minister, when do you believe that you will have a 100% roll-out so that every single family in Northern Ireland can benefit?
