Kirsty Williams wanted to quiz the First Minister on the cost of childcare.

The Family and Childcare Trust today published their report on the cost of childcare which according to Kirsty made some grim reading.

And childcare was a theme also embroidered on by the Leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood
