The 'father forfeit' is real. Businesses need to stop discriminating against dads in their approach to flexible working. Thanks for highlighting this @LexyTopping. Dads - check out our #timewithdad campaign theguardian.com/global-devel…
So pleased to be able to contribute this to the @suttontrust campaign for early years funding:

The childcare providers in least well off areas of the country were the ones most likely to go busy in the pandemic. That's because the government's "funding" of childcare is woefully inadequate
Emma Byrne retweeted
This is so true; all the research shows that good quality child care boosts language skills, social and emotional skills and general well-being. It's the most potent investment in levelling up that the government could make
NEW: The early years are vital for a child’s development. But many of the poorest families are locked out of the government's 30 hours of free early education and childcare for three- and four-year-olds.

Not many people would describe parenting as child's play, but it turns out that play is the most important part of building our humans.
You can't overestimate the benefits of play.

Whether it's breast vs bottle or chicken vs chickpeas, the way we feed our children can be surprisingly contentious.
