Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
By 2017, the Council expects to have seen its grant funding from government halved, and has said that funding must be reflective of need and take into account any new responsibilities that councils take on.
The Council has also called for greater power through devolved budgets for employment and skills and locally determined council tax.
Council leader Sarah Hayward said: “Local authorities continue to be placed under huge pressure and while we’ve prioritised savings initiatives that protect frontline services, there’s only so long this can continue.
“Although we recognise the need to address the national budget deficit, Camden is suffering disproportionate cuts that are putting basic services under threat.
“November’s Spending Review will be a crucial moment for Camden and we do not want to see further funding cuts impacting on the lives of local people. I am now urging the government to recognise that these reductions are unsustainable, and take our suggestions seriously as it plans for the future.”
