How will new arrangements for childcare payments affect parents in England?

How are new arrangements for childcare payments that arrive in April going to affect parents in England?

New arrangements for childcare payments come into force in April in England. How will the new arrangements affect parents? Are they going to be better or worse off?

Felicity Hannah is joined by Ellen Broome of the children's charity Coram, and Jonathan Broadbery, Director of Policy at the National Day Nurseries Association.
