Hunt criticised by boss of childcare company that Sunak’s wife invests in

Chief executive of Koru Kids, of which Akshata Murty is a shareholder, attacks autumn statement

The head of a childcare company backed by the prime minister’s wife has attacked the government following the autumn statement, accusing ministers of letting nurseries go bust.

Rachel Carrell, chief executive of Koru Kids, criticised a failure to allocate extra money for the childcare sector despite many providers saying that they could go out of business under reforms brought in earlier this year.
