Childcare provision

Baroness Ashton of Upholland, then Land Registry's minister at the Department for Constitutional Affairs, opened the Leicester Office nursery in October 2006. To commemorate the event the minister unveiled a plaque and met the children during a tour of the office.

"Suitable childcare is a great benefit to parents who need to balance their working lives and domestic commitments," said Baroness Ashton. "It is a vital route to a family's economic prosperity, enabling parents to work, pursue a career, learn or train, whilst remaining confident that their children are being cared for in a safe and stimulating environment."

A review of Land Registry's childcare provision has been completed and is subject to consultation. A new policy will be implemented by April 2008.
