The Social Development and Employment Minister says their extension to childcare funding will be appreciated by many families.

The Government's announced the income threshold to access the childcare subsidy scheme will be raised from April.

More than half of New Zealand families will be eligible.

The Working for Families tax credit will also increase by nine dollars a week for the oldest child, and seven dollars for subsequent children.

Minister Carmel Sepuloni told Mike Hosking that it's a smart policy.
