“More parents are increasing their working hours, able to work more flexibly, and are spending less on childcare so they have spare cash to spend on their families.
“Every parent wants to give their child the best start in life and that’s why it’s great to see parents in Crawley and around West Sussex benefitting from this support for families.”
