I thank the Member for her positive contribution. The Member’s right with regard to, in many local authorities, there is a raft of services delivered in different ways across the 22 local authorities. This has given us the opportunity to look at what works best, where, and how, maybe, we can broaden that. I don’t envisage that we’ll have one scheme as we move forward to the end of the programme. I think there’ll have to be some flexibilities in how we’re able to deliver some of those. But the proof of concept will be taken forward over the next couple of months.

The issue of logistics, and particularly the one around the summer period, is one that we challenged RCT on, because we know that they can deliver this through the school period, but can they and how will they do that through the summer period, or the holiday period? That is a matter for them, and they are signed up and enthusiastic to go. I spoke with the leader today about the opportunities that this will pose. He’s very enthusiastic, and I’m sure you’ll increase the pressure of opportunity within the authority as well.

Talk Childcare has been very successful. We’ve got #TalkChildcare on Twitter and Facebook. We’re also using other methods of engagement, through Mumsnet and other programmes. My team have been out talking to private sector companies. So, they were in a large company in Caerphilly only a few weeks back, talking to parents in that company about how and what their needs may and may not be for the future. To be fair, my team are working incredibly hard with externals to deliver this programme, but they’re fed up of me saying, ‘Go and talk to real people’, as opposed to ‘Government’s doing this to people; let’s get some feedback about what works for them too.’
