What will these parents do...?

Sure Start Children’s centres have been one of Labour’s big successes over the last five years, growing rapidly to reach 3,500 across the country.

Here in Central Devon, parents can access services at six centres – serving areas in and around Ashburton / Buckfastleigh; Bovey Tracey / Heathfield; Crediton, Hatherleigh, and Okehampton

What will parents who use these centres discover, if a Tory Government gets in?

The Tories would cut Sure Start from families on middle and modest incomes.

Those same families would suffer a double whammy because the Tories would also cut Child Tax Credits and the Child Trust Fund.
And now we learn that the Tories secret plan is to let nurseries charge top-up fees
The Tory voting record speaks volumes -
Against increasing maternity leave. Against introducing paternity leave. Against flexible working. Against the National minimum wage.

Don't give the Tories the chance to plunge parents and their children back into hardship and poverty.
Vote Labour.

See what Labour will do here....


Labour is pledged to –

Maintain Child Trust funds and Child Tax credits and offeri a £4 a week ‘Toddler tax credit' for the parents of younger children.

Expand nursery provision from September so that parents of three and four year olds will receive 15 free hours of flexible child care thirty eight weeks a year.

Keep Sure Start funding rising with inflation and offer flexible working for older workers and more help for grandparents as well as a "Fathers' month" of flexible paternity leave.
