Plaid Cymru set out plans yesterday to get parents back into work by extending early years education if it forms the next Welsh government.
It proposed a £300 million extension of Foundation Phase schooling to provide free full-time childcare to three and four-year-olds.
Adding extra hours of free childcare to the existing scheme and extending it to two-year-olds are are also being considered.
