Okay. Very good. Sharon, did you have anything you wanted to add on that subject?

Thank you for clarifying that, but, obviously, there are some out there who are breaching the law anyway. Ken Skates, I think you wanted to explore how we're meeting the needs of different groups.

Jane, did you want to come back in on this, or—?

Sharon, as well as giving us your top priorities, could you explain to us how it is that people are providing childcare for money without being registered, which is illegal? And what are local authorities doing about it?

Okay. Jane, please concentrate on what you want to add to what Gwenllian has already said, unless, of course, you disagree with that.

Okay. So, increasing the pay to £5 an hour and extending it to children aged two would be your top priorities at this stage, apart from the obvious one about much greater Welsh-medium provision.

Okay, thanks very much. Clearly, there are two objectives here. One is child development, and the other is parental employment. What are your priorities in terms of improving the offer to be the most inclusive and most effective. Gwenllian, do you want to…

Very good. Sarah Murphy is going to start off the questioning.

Welcome back to the Equalities and Social Justice Committee, and we're now moving on to panel 2, to hear from childcare providers. So, welcome, Sharon Davies, Jane O'Toole and Gwenllian Lansdown Davies. I wonder if you'd just tell us for the record which…

Okay. I'm afraid we've run out of time. We did have a couple of other questions around international examples that we might be able to learn from in Wales, but we can write to you if there's anything further that you want to add on that. We'll obviously send…

Cerys, did you want to make a final remark? Why is Government not offering wraparound care? It's a bit of a no-brainer, isn't it?
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee

Catherine, you wanted to come in. Your final remarks, because we're running out of time.
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay, if you can keep your answers brief, then we can perhaps get you all in if we need to.
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Fine. Could I just bring in Tom Giffard, because we are running out of time? We've touched already on the issue of childcare for school-age children, but why is it so difficult? Over to you, Tom.

Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. I can see both Cerys and Shavanah want to come in, but we've only got 10 minutes left, so I wondered if you could—. I'm going to ask Sarah Murphy to come in at this point, and the points you want to make, Shavanah and Cerys, you can include in your next…

Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. I know that—. Can I bring Ken Skates in, because I know he had some questions on this area?

Sioned, is there anything further you wanted to add? Because, otherwise, I was—

Very good. That moves us neatly into the questions that Sioned Williams wanted to ask.

Have you got any further questions, Jane?
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Catherine, in your answer, I wonder if you can pick up how successful the Flying Start programme has been, because that is the one area where you don't have to be in work to get that benefit.
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Thanks for that. Jane Dodds, you wanted to ask some questions at this point.

Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thank you very much. Ken, you just wanted to follow up a point, before I bring in Jane Dodds.
