Free pre-schools will cut 'crippling' childcare costs
FREE pre-school education should help cut 'crippling' childcare costs, parents have said.

Education has announced it will seek States approval to spend £1.9m a year introducing universal pre-schooling for three- and four-year-olds from 2016.
Parents and support groups have wholeheartedly supported the idea.
Guernseymums.gg co-founder Milly Dudley-Owen thought the plan should have been introduced years ago.
Mother of one Emma Le Vallee, 31, said her daughter was too old to benefit from the scheme, but thought the idea was worth pursuing.
'I think it's good, I would have liked it, the cost of childcare can be quite crippling. People do work to pay for childcare and a lot of people will benefit from it being free.'
