Parents asked about proposed change to carer ratios
Plans to let nurseries and childminders look after more two-year-olds in England are to be put to parents.
In these days, SLOT have far-reached developments, and they have a lot of game bonus features, especially with the 'Free Spins' increases your chances of "taking a gamble" to win more prize money you just won.
In England, one adult can be in charge of four children, but the government says it wants to lower the cost for parents by following the Scottish model of one adult caring for five toddlers.
Most nurseries say the systems cannot be compared and do not want the change.
A mum who has spent more than £90,000 in nursery fees in seven years doubts a change would save parents much money.
The consultation into the idea is expected to take eight weeks.
Will Quince, the children and families minister, said it was about offering flexibility to early years settings and that he did not want to do anything that "compromises quality or safety".
He told the BBC the Scottish model was a good one and "it's only a slight tweak or variation to what we do".
"But that's exactly why we are consulting because we've got to listen to the sector and, importantly, listen to parents to make sure that whatever we propose we are getting it right." he added.
Mother-of-two Amanda Smallbone, whose younger child attends a Durham nursery, says that as a working parent she already felt guilty about putting her children in someone else's care.
But that means she wants them to have the best experience and "part of that is being part of a smaller group and having that additional care".
Amanda questions how big the savings would actually be. She believes using the new ratios could create a two-tier system for parents - those who can afford paying for the extra costs of lower ratios and "those who have to be driven by price as they have no other choice".
