Labour has a better plan for working families in Swindon. Labour will provide 25 hours free childcare each week for working parents of three and four-year-olds, funded by increasing the tax on banks.
Labour will also ensure that all primary schools in our area guarantee access to wraparound childcare from 8am-6pm, to ease the pressure on working parents.
