I have to say I think that affordable childcare should be available to everyone in the same way that the NHS or schools are not chargeable to people on higher incomes. Not least because the price of childcare is insane. I think '30hrs free' roughly equates to a 35% discount at our nursery.
The fact she is in a single income household changes things, but a lot of people in her position would stick 50K in a pension, get 30 hrs a week per child, 2k more in tax free childcare while at the same time massively reducing the amount of tax going into the system to pay for it all.
