Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru's Member of the Senedd for mid and west Wales Cefin Campbell also said licensing was an issue.

Reform is hoping to win its first Senedd seats at the Welsh Parliament elections in May 2026, with recent polling suggesting support for the party is closely behind Labour, and neck and neck with Plaid Cymru.

Polling by Survation conducted in March and April put Labour on 27%, and Plaid Cymru and Reform on 24% each, with the Tories behind on 15%.

Mabon ap Gwynfor MS, Plaid Cymru spokesperson on health and care, said the monthly update were "not statistics to celebrate by any measure".

Plaid Cymru, which helped to secure free childcare expansion for two-year-olds as part of a 2021 deal with the Welsh government, said it wanted to "deliver an expanded, more affordable and seamless childcare offer in 2026".
