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.
The Crime and Security Bill has been given Royal Assent.
The clamping provisions of the new Act introduce company licensing for clamping companies who operate on private land, where only individuals were previously required to be licensed.
Under the plans, to qualify for a license all clamping companies must be licensed by the Security Industry Authority, and abide by an enforceable Code of Practice.
The British Parking Association (BPA) has lobbied government for this change to pursue its objective of raising standards for motorists who park on private land and successfully tabled an amendment to the Bill to introduce an independent appeals service for motorists who cannot get redress from the clamping operator.
Patrick Troy, Chief Executive of the BPA, said: "Clamping is one of the few areas left that require further regulation."
"While there is a clear need for parking enforcement on private land to deter unsociable parking, it is vital that operators are working in a reasonable and transparent manner, which is what these measures will deliver."
