Funding for Childcare - Amendment 2

Leave out all after ‘Programme for Government’ and insert:

‘welcomes the introduction of the Northern Ireland Childcare Subsidy Scheme (NICSS), but expresses regret that in many instances, rising costs have outweighed the potential savings for parents provided by the NICSS; believes the scheme cap and contribution should be increased and the eligibility expanded to include school-aged children; calls on the Minister of Education to deliver a fully costed early learning and childcare strategy, with clear actions and delivery timeline; and further calls on the Minister to work with the Minister of Finance to ensure the strategy is fully implemented.’
