Rishi Sunak has come under attack for shelving plans for a major childcare shake-up designed to curb spiralling costs for parents.
The Prime Minister is said to have quietly dropped his predecessor Liz Truss's idea for "big bang" reforms, which were due to include increasing free childcare support by 20 hours a week and scrapping staff to child ratios.
But the plan has been kicked into the long grass, with the scale of plans being considered expected to be much smaller, according to the Telegraph.
