Tony Abbott has promised to delay introducing new rules requiring childcare providers to hire more teachers with better qualifications.
He argues that the planned changes would spark fee increases for parents.
The Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union, which represents 110,000 childcare workers, said Mr Abbott's plan threatened the future of quality childcare.
Assistant national secretary Sue Lines said parents should be deeply concerned by his plans to remove and delay quality childcare reforms.
"In making this promise, Tony Abbott is ignoring the fact that the childcare quality reforms have already received a glowing endorsement following a mammoth consultation process with all stakeholders across the country," Ms Lines said.
