Capping childcare fees means setting a maximum limit on how much childcare providers can charge, with the goal of making childcare more affordable for families and increasing access to early childhood education. Proponents argue that it helps working families manage costs, supports child development, and reduces financial barriers to childcare access. Opponents argue that it may lead to reduced quality of care, discourage investment in childcare services, and place financial strain on providers.

Yes as long as it doesn't force the childcare sector to struggle more than it already does with trying to find staff.
@9ZL6NP72mos2MO
they could reduce it or give a little towards the childcare fees but at the end of the day the minders need to be paid
@9ZLJYR52mos2MO
The government should subsidise childcare fees to improve affordability and create mandatory degree level training for childcare providers outside direct family members.
@9ZL62W52mos2MO
A weekly stay at home parents benefit would allow many men and women afford to mind their own children
@9ZK9LFP2mos2MO
Yes to reduced fees but childcare workers should be paid a reasonable wage for the amount of hours worked and the intensity of their work
@9ZK3TL82mos2MO
Yes, and the salaries of childcare providers should be partially subsidised by the government to ensure a living wage
@9ZJMRZY2mos2MO
Rather than capping fees, the govt. should review and subsidise cases - this would also avoid blanket subsidies where providers could just increase prices
@9ZJ6LTG2mos2MO
Yes but there needs to be enough childcare services to support this. No point in having it free when not everyone can avail of jt
