Labour's education spokesperson says regulation is needed to ensure children are safe in early childhood education.

Opposition parties have joined forces to stop what they fear will be dangerous changes.

The Government has launched a sector review, saying it plans to remove regulations deemed 'unnecessary'.

Jan Tinetti says the review's been rushed, and some in the industry feel they haven't been listened to.

"And it's really important to hear all of the voices here, or else it is going to be dangerous. We are going to put our kids in a really unsafe position - and also our teachers in an unsafe position."
