The National Party says the early childhood education sector's near total rejection of the Government's plan to provide 20 hours of free childcare to two-year-olds is a vote of no confidence in the Government's policy.
A coalition of ECE groups says some centres could close as a result of the move.
National Party deputy leader Nicola Willis says the government needs to go back to the drawing board.
We asked to speak with Education Minister, Jan Tinetti, and associate minister Jo Luxton, but both declined, saying they are on a Budget roadshow.
Nicola Willis spoke to Guyon Espiner this morning.
