Answer
My Department continues to progress the development of an Executive Early Learning and Childcare Strategy as a matter of priority. The affordability and accessibility of childcare for families, alongside other actions to support the early learning and childcare sector, are being considered.
I hope to bring proposals to the Executive in the coming days.
