Thousands struggle to access childcare on glitchy website
Thousands of parents in England are struggling to get subsidised childcare as they grapple with a glitchy website eight months after it was set up.
In some cases, money meant for fees has become stuck in tax-free childcare accounts, leaving some parents unable to pay their nursery bills. Others struggled to apply for or reconfirm their free childcare. The government says that fewer than 2% of the 320,000 parents who have opened accounts had encountered problems. It added that earlier teething problems had been put right with extra resources and insists the website is running smoothly for the majority of parents. Source : BBC
