Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Fflint Wrecsam has called for further details on Plaid Cymru’s childcare offer.
The Welsh Government has announced £55m of funding, including the expansion of funded childcare to more two-year-olds and £10m of capital funding to improve childcare settings.
Mr Rowlands, Welsh Conservative spokesperson for Education and Families has now called on Plaid Cymru for more clarification on how its childcare plans will be rolled out across Wales.
He said:
Additional investment in expanding childcare is welcome, but funding should be focused on supporting working families to help grow the Welsh economy.
Flying Start needs reforming so provision is better targeted at families who need support rather than the current postcode lottery.
The Welsh Conservatives want greater clarity for families and providers on long-term funding and whether there will be enough childcare places to deliver this offer in practice.
Sam Rowlands AS yn galw am fwy o eglurder ynghylch cynlluniau gofal plant
Mae Sam Rowlands, Aelod o’r Senedd dros Fflint Wrecsam, wedi galw am ragor o fanylion am gynnig gofal plant Plaid Cymru.
Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhoeddi £55 miliwn o gyllid, gan gynnwys ehangu gofal plant a ariennir i fwy o blant dwy oed a £10m o gyllid cyfalaf i wella lleoliadau gofal plant.
Mae Mr Rowlands, llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig dros Addysg a Theuluoedd, bellach wedi galw ar Blaid Cymru i egluro ymhellach sut bydd yn cyflwyno ei chynlluniau gofal plant ledled Cymru.
Meddai:
Mae croeso i fuddsoddiad ychwanegol mewn ehangu gofal plant, ond dylai cyllid fod yn canolbwyntio ar gefnogi teuluoedd sy’n gweithio i helpu i dyfu economi Cymru.
Mae angen diwygio menter Dechrau’n Deg fel bod y ddarpariaeth wedi’i thargedu’n well at deuluoedd sydd angen cymorth yn hytrach na’r loteri cod post bresennol.
Mae’r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig eisiau mwy o eglurder i deuluoedd a darparwyr ar gyllid hirdymor ac a fydd digon o leoedd gofal plant i ddarparu’r cynnig hwn yn ymarferol.
