Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
£2m funding is to improve flood rescue capability for rescue services in England and Wales.
Grants totalling approximately £650,000 have recently been awarded from the fund, and will help local flood resilience teams’ efforts to raise money to buy everything from boats and flood barriers to training sessions for flood rescue volunteers.
All the equipment bought with the new money will be added to the National Asset Register of emergency resources that others can call upon in the event of a major flood.
Applications for the remaining funding should be made to The Department for Environment,Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) by 31 January 2011.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said: "We have learnt from the floods we have experienced in recent years that the emergency response is most effective when public, private and voluntary groups work well together."
