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.
Organisations specialising in child mental health care will receive £4.9 million of the cash injection, in recognition of the significant role improvements in the field have had in supporting children and young people.
The remaining funding will be spent on organisations specialising in adoption (£1.7 million), children in care (£1.4 million), early education and childcare (£5.3 million), family advice and support (£1.8 million), safeguarding (£3.3 million) and special educational needs and disabilities (£5.9 million).
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said: "I’m delighted to give this injection of support to the voluntary sector, which offers life-changing services to children and their families. This was a highly competitive process and every bid given money today has shown that they will put the funds to great use. This is a significant investment in a tough financial climate which will make a real difference across the country."
The Department of Education chose 94 successful projects from the 463 applicants. Some of the projects that will receive large proportions of the funding include Barnardo's (£736,154), British Dyslexia Association (£549, 533), the Family and Childcare Trust (£500,000), Pre-school Learning Alliance (£500,000), the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (£564,917) and Youth Access (£500,000).
