We would like government to keep a tight grip on expenditure, particularly to avoid developing or supporting the development of services that are in competition with small businesses. We would like to the chancellor to avoid changes that create or indeed tinker with the bureaucracy that business is subjected to. We would like to avoid any changes that could result in increased interest rates which would have a significant impact on the young families who attend our programmes. The continued spending of families on UK based services is vital for the continued growth of emerging companies such as Baby Sensory. I know this is not my thoughts on what will be said but it should be a good barometer for my comments on measures that are taken.  I will be looking for simplification and de-regulation rather than government administered support packages.
