Labour plan for 100,000 new nursery places in England ‘unlikely to work’

Policy to create 100,000 new nursery places using spare capacity in English primary schools is 'unlikely to work' Research blames a geographical mismatch between capacity and demand.

Headteachers have been invited to apply for up to 150,000 in the first round of funding.

Funding will support 300 new or expanded nurseries in state primary schools.
