"But an average of three Sure Start centres are being lost every single week, contributing to a total of 35,000 fewer childcare places under David Cameron. And all at a time when the number of children under four in England has risen by 125,000."

Tony M
: That's actually the 'lieux d'accueil' in Asker's next question; I doubt there'd be 460 of them in this town!

I think I covered that with my "explanation" and I wrote "this" pre-school level because I'm not sure what the equivalent to "petite enfance" is in terms of pre-school
