Information on corporate-led childcare facilities

What is a corporate-led childcare business?

These are childcare facilities operated by companies, mainly for the children of their employees, with operating costs subsidized by the government.
There are employee quotas and local quotas, and if there is a local quota, children in the area who need childcare can also use it.
