Local authorities in Wales are waiting for clarity on expanding free childcare to all areas, with concerns about funding and availability of places and staff.

• Christine Sharpe from Pontypridd states that the situation for families varies, and it's important for people in every area to have support available.
• The previous Labour government aimed to introduce free childcare first in the most deprived areas through the Start Well program, but expansion to all areas remains unclear.
• Local authorities are waiting for further funding from the Welsh government, not only for childcare but also to pay for new or expanded provision.
