even before trying to meet that target.
The report found that childcare and schools were much more integrated in Denmark than Northern Ireland and parents faced lower costs. Children begin primary school in Denmark aged six, but the country also has a network of childcare centres and out-of-school care. "Funding continues to be a concern for parents in Northern Ireland although all children are entitled to a free compulsory pre-school year for 2.5 hours per day during term time."Therefore, the free pre-school year does not go far enough to provide care for working parents."
rubbish....only BREW-BUMs on Benefits get funding or into Pre-School becasue they are top of the criteria...everyone else has to pay for private day-care full-time...PS...BREW-BUMs get that paid for as well, No point working any more as PAYE!
