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.
Over £54m will be shared among projects aimed at improving the quality of life in rural areas of Wales.
The money is being made available through the Rural Development Plan (RDP) for Wales 2007-13.
As well as covering agriculture, forestry, the environment and countryside, the RDP funds schemes aimed at improving the quality of life in rural areas, and locally based approaches to rural development.
Among the 77 projects receiving funding are a healthy village scheme in rural wards of Caerphilly and a green tourism project in Denbighshire.
Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones said: "The Rural Development Plan is a very important mechanism for developing rural communities. Between 2007 and 2013 it will bring an impressive £795m of funding to rural Wales."
"Many of the projects being approved will help to support rural economies as Wales continues to feel the effects of the worldwide recession and the UK government spending review, which has left Wales facing severe cuts."
