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.
A new online simulation has been launched by the Department for Energy and Climate Change to give the public the chance to make decisions about the nation's energy future.
My 2050 is a user-friendly web application designed to help the public have a go at making the choices we face when it comes to a secure, low carbon economy, and to let DECC what they want 2050 to look like.
Whether its building more nuclear power stations, putting solar panels on every roof or building more onshore wind turbines, the choice is yours as long as you can hit the 2050 target to reduce carbon emissions by 80 per cent while keeping the lights on.
In addition to launching the My2050 simulation, the government has also updated its more technical counterpart, the 2050 Calculator, which gives a more detailed look at the UK’s energy and emissions system based on the physical and technical limits of different technologies across the supply and demand side.
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said: "There’s no silver bullet solution to the UK’s energy future."
"This project is all about getting to grips with the hard choices and trade-offs which need to be made, choices which will affect our homes, communities and the way we travel."
