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 'Get Around for £2' bus scheme has been launched with many single bus fares capped at £2 until the end of March.
From 1 January to 31 March 2023, more than 130 bus operators outside of London will charge no more than £2 for single tickets.
The scheme is intended to help the bus industry recover from the pandemic and also reduce carbon emissions and congestion.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said: "By helping passengers outside London save almost a third off the average single bus ticket and taking 2 million cars off the road, the £2 bus fare cap is a fantastic way to start the new year.
"Buses are a key part of our vision for a clean, efficient and modern transport network that is affordable for everyone. That’s why we’re investing £60 million to encourage everyone to hop on the bus and ‘Get Around for £2’."
The scheme is backed by £60 million of government funding and is part of the Help for Households campaign.
Norman Baker from Campaign for Better Transport, said: "Affordable bus travel really is a win-win. Capping bus fares in this way will help struggling households, cut traffic congestion and carbon emissions, and inject new life into dwindling bus services."
