The new Ministry for Regulation has announced a review of the early childhood education sector.

The minister in charge, David Seymour, says affordability, access and regulation currently weigh down the industry.

Seymour says workers in the sector are burdened by constant rules and regulations as they try to educate the nation's youngest learners.

"Fundamentally, we want people to spend less time engaged in regulatory activity, which may or may not be that useful - and more time on their core business."
