Minns government vows 100 childcare centres if re-elected

A re-elected Minns Labor Government has promised 100 new public long day care centres across NSW, co-located with public schools to end the “double drop off” for working families.

The government says the centres would run from 7am to 6pm, five days a week, in areas where early learning places are hardest to find. It is also promising a two-year funding guarantee for community preschools from 2027, after research it commissioned found NSW needs around 21,000 more early learning places by 2030.
