Shannon Pite, communications and external affairs director at the Early Years Alliance, said the new funding announcements would not put the sector at ease.
“Where funded hours are underfunded, providers have no choice but to look at any additional hours the parents take up or any additional services the parents take up – including lunch, nappies, or trips – and push the prices of those up,” she told“Historically when the early entitlement was centred around three- and four-year-olds, what a lot of providers did was look to one- and two-year-olds and increase the cost there.
