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.
Access to regional airports should be improved and tourism to regional areas should be supported, said Bristol Airport chief executive Robert Sinclair. His comments came as Bristol Airport submitted its formal response to the Government's consultation on aviation strategy launched in July.
The Government has also appointed former Financial Services Authority chief Sir Howard Davies to head an independent commission which will make its full report on airport capacity needs in summer 2015.
While some favour expansion at Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted, others, including London Mayor Boris Johnson, are keen on a brand-new airport in the Thames Estuary.
Mr Sinclair said: "As politicians, Government officials, aviation professionals and other stakeholders debate issues around capacity and new schemes costing billions of pounds, it is critical to remember that significant airport capacity already exists in the UK regions.
"Government policy should encourage the use of this capacity and should encourage private sector investment in long-term infrastructure. Not only will this relieve congestion at airports in south-east England, but it will help rebalance the economy at the same time."
