'If I look at my childminder, I may have a teacher of the future, I may have a nursery manager, I may have an engineer. What we have got to offer people who come into this industry is the opportunity to develop their qualifications' Catherine Ashton, early years minister, speaking to the Education and Skills select committee 'I want to produce something that will survive long beyond us, which we can point to as part of this Parliament and say, "We started that here. We have a proper integrated support for families which supports children and their mums and dads to enable them to do what they want".'
