New childcare costs help for Forces families in devolved nations

Defence Secretary John Healey met families at Dreghorn Barracks as the MOD announced eligible military families in the devolved nations will soon be able to access the same help with early years childcare costs as those in England.

This spring the childcare offer in England is changing. At present, working parents of three- and four-year-olds are eligible for 30 hours of childcare support.
