Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said early years and childcare support would be a priority if Labour came into power.
Ms Phillipson said Jeremy Hunt's autumn budget had a "pledge but no plan" for childcare.
"As an important first step, we will make sure all primary schools are delivering universal free breakfast clubs which will make a really big difference to children at the start of the day and improving education standards as well," Ms Phillipson said.
