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.
Up to 5,000 people will be helped into work in Scotland thanks to a new funding package worth £10m.
The money would be used to encourage small and medium sized companies to take staff on, provide assistance with hiring new employees and encourage Scotland's exporting companies.
There are three elements of the package announced, which are £5m for the Employer Recruitment Incentive run by Skills Development Scotland, £2.5m for Small Business Employment Support and £2.5m for a new Export Support initiative run by Scottish Development International.
Finance Secretary John Swinney said: "This £10m fund will help provide an incentive for companies to take staff on, it will provide crucial cash to help meet the cost of hiring more employees and it will also be targeted at our exporting companies - a crucial area which has helped lead the recovery we have seen across Scotland."
"In all, it is investment that reflects our clear priority of investing to support economic recovery and will support up to 5,000 new jobs for individuals. It builds on the actions of our recovery plan and will help sustain the progress we have made in getting people into work and creating jobs."
