Daycare Trust's annual conference Future Childcare Investment, Who Cares Who Pays took place on 17 November in London, England.

The conference featured a presentation by Peter Moss, who argued that integration of care and education is stalled and called for early education to be funded the same way as schools in order to deliver high quality care.
