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.
Cardiff Council has announced it is planning cuts to generate £17 million in savings as part of a wider measure to raise £25 million to balance its books.
The council is considering a series of measures, including moves to raise council tax by 3.7 per cent and making cuts of £17 million; charges for burials rising by £30 and cremations by £10; charges for births, deaths and marriages increasing by 4-5 per cent; school meals going up by 10p a day; and completing the transfer of leisure centres to a new operator.
Other proposals include cutting £1.5 million from reserves, £1.9 million from school budgets and £4.4 million from the planned increased in council tax would help make up the shortfall.
Councillor Graham Hinchey cabinet member for corporate services and performance, said: "The provisional settlement from Welsh Government is slightly more favourable than we bargained for.
"However, it is still a cut in real terms because of price and pay inflation."
Residents have been asked to share their views on the proposals in a consultation, which will run from 10 November to 11 December.
