Child Care Costs
How much childcare costs, seems to bear little relation to the quality it delivers. That’s according to a report by the National Audit Office. Jane Garvey asks Margaret Hodge MP about the report, discusses how parents can make an informed choice about the best day-care for their 3 and 4 year olds.

Beyond Disability: Letting Go
Preparing a child for the day when they become an adult and start their life independently can be complex and emotional for the family at the best of times. However, when that child has learning difficulties which can make them more vulnerable, the challenges multiply. So how can a parent prepare best for letting their children go? Rosa Monckton’s 16 year old daughter Domenica has Down’s Syndrome, and wants to be a dancer on the West End stage. They filmed ‘Letting Go’, a documentary as part of the BBC’s Beyond Disability season, to look at how the transition to greater independence can be managed. Dr Kelly Camilleri is a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in working with people with learning difficulties and they both join Jane to discuss the challenges facing families.

Women on the FTSE: One year on from the Davies Report
It’s a year since Lord Davies completed his report for the Government on increasing the proportion of women on corporate boards. He recommended a target of 25 per cent women on FTSE 100 boards by 2015. Today Theresa May, the Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities, will be speaking as Cranfield School of Management presents its fourteenth annual report monitoring the progress of women onto the boards on the UK’s top companies. So, when the average FTSE 100 company board has female participation rates running at just 15.6% and eleven of these companies still have no women on their boards – is it finally time to introduce legally binding quotas? Theresa May and BBC Business Editor Robert Peston discuss with Jane.

Vintage Clothing Personal Shopping
A new shopping experience for Jane Garvey. Naomi Thompson is an experienced stylist and expert vintage personal shopper with a reputation for sourcing beautiful clothes for every body shape. Vintage fashion has been ever increasing in popularity, but how do you start out as a novice shopper, and what should you look for when you're not a model size? Naomi takes Jane round some of the trendiest vintage fashion shops in East London and learns the right way to get into (and out of) a fitted 1940's frock, to the delights of working out which way round a 1960's cocktail dress might go.
