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 BBC has reported that the government has dropped plans put forward by Former House of Lords leader Lord Strathclyde to remove peers' veto over laws - called statutory instruments.
The report said that plans to remove the power from the Lords, where the conservatives do not have a majority, will not go ahead. The news comes after the government announced its review into the workings of Parliament after defeats in the House of Lords over controversial tax credit cuts.
The report also suggests that the change could be part of May’s government attempting to distance itself from the previous administration, and part of its desire to pare back any legislation that might be controversial when the government is likely to face resistance in Parliament over its plans for leaving the EU.
When asked to comment on the news, a spokesmen for Downing Street said: "We will be publishing our response in due course."
