There has been speculation the chancellor may announce back-dating some pay awards or one-off payments, but the Institute for Government thinktank says there are no"pain free" options for Mr Hunt. Last month, the Early Years Alliance told Sky News nursery fees are expected to increase even further,Families with children aged one and two do not currently receive support to cover the period after parental leave ends and before free nursery hours are offered for three and four-year-olds.
