Answer
The Early Learning and Childcare Strategy is currently being finalised, taking account of the responses received through the public consultation. I intend to bring the revised Strategy to Executive colleagues in the coming weeks.
Publication and implementation of the proposed actions will be subject to Executive approval and the availability of the necessary funding.
