The government is refusing to fast-track a review of core early childhood education rules despite being told they might not be fit for purpose.
A Cabinet paper shows Parliament's Regulations Review Select Committee is not confident the regulations covering minimum space and staffing support children's health, safety and well-being.
It wants the government to review the regulations earlier than its current schedule of late 2023 but the government says no.
Education correspondent, John Gerritsen has been following this.
