How many children aged under three should childminders and nursery staff be allowed to look after at the same time?
A relaxation in the number of pre-school children that nurseries and registered childminders can oversee has been announced in order to professionalise the pre-school workforce and cut the cost of childcare in England.
We are recruiting for parents to join our Parent Panel and become parent spokespeople for us in the media and at events.
Is the answer to any of these questions is yes, or if you’ve had other experiences of childcare you’re happy to talk publicly about, you’re just what we're looking for.
The Parent Panel offers parents free training in dealing with media interviews and public speaking, and opportunities to appear in the media as a case study telling your childcare story, and any parent who uses childcare can join. We've already run several successful media training days for Parent Panel members. We will pay for all of the training and meet any travel and childcare expenses.
We will never pass your details on to a journalist without checking with you first, we'll always fit any requests around times you're free, and you would never be obliged to do anything you weren't comfortable with.

Report reveals childcare is the luxury that families have to afford as figures show that nursery, childminder and after-school club costs are all rising at more than double the rate of inflation.
The two charities merged on 1 January 2013 and the new charity will be launched in April 2013.
