Take a look at the one page note - HERE - about a new scheme that will start in September 2026.

A Defence scheme for eligible working parents in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that will reimburse costs for the difference in early years childcare hours to match the Government funded childcare they would be entitled to if assigned to England.

This will need you to set up a Tax Free Childcare Account - more information can be found here: Tax-Free Childcare: What Tax-Free Childcare is - GOV.UK

More information will follow soon but if should have any questions regarding this new scheme, please pop a message to the Ask Info profile or email them on [email protected]
