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.
Planning permission has been granted for work to begin on a new council headquarters building for Cambridgeshire County Council.
The authority will move from its current home at Shire Hall in Cambridge to Alconbury - more than 20 miles away.
The new two-storey building, which aims to be ‘bright, flexible and productive’, will incorporate 350 desks for staff, along with a number of informal meetings spaces and a public reception. Expected to cost approximately £18 million, the council highlights environmental factors such as charging points for electric cars and solar panelling will help the building remain energy efficient and forward-thinking.
Cambridgeshire County Council said moving from the Cambridge site would save in the region of £60 million over 30 years.
Chris Malyon, deputy chief executive of Cambridgeshire County Council, said: “The decision today is a significant step forward in our plans to be more present across the County, and I’m pleased that we remain on-track and on budget. It shows our commitment to investing in our services and people – putting us in the best position to support our growing county.”
