The cartoon is created by animator David Kyte and it tells the viewer the amount that the Government offers nurseries per hour to fund the childcare place compared to what it is actually costing nurseries to offer the place.
For many nurseries the amount offered by theGovernment barely covers their overheads, leading to a financial strain.
The Champagne Nurseries for Lemonade Funding campaign asks for a fair price for childcare places, as this would mean many nurseries are able to keep their doors open
