The phased rollout will see childcare expanded again in September 2025 from 15 hours to 30 for all children between nine months and school age.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson noted, 'This inherited plan comes with significant delivery challenges - I must warn that for some parents it will not be plain sailing'.
Labour has committed to utilizing empty or under-used classrooms to deliver 100,000 new nursery places before the free childcare expands again in 2025.
The Department for Education emphasizes that the scale of the inherited delivery challenge requires an unprecedented rate of growth in childcare places and staff.
