On 16 April 2018, Huw Irranca-Davies AM, Minister for Children and Social Care introduced the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill into the National Assembly for Wales.

The aim of this Bill is to provide 30 hours per week of government funded early education and childcare to the working parents of three and four year olds in Wales for up to 48 weeks per year.

This was one of the key commitments made by the Government in its manifesto.

The Bill was remitted to the Children, Young People and Education Committee by the Business Committee.
