Eligible working families assigned overseas can now access 15 hours of early years childcare funding for children aged between nine months and three years.
Children aged between three and four years can already access 15 hours or up to 30 hours for working families.
This offer matches the entitlement provided to families in England and is based on certain eligibility criteria. Parents should bear in mind that the hours need to be used at an MOD/Defence Children Services setting to benefit. Locations with a DCS setting can be found at gov.uk/government/groups/defence-children-services-dcs
If you are moving to a location where there are no MOD/DCS settings available, then parents with children aged between nine months and four years can apply for a reimbursement of nursery fees via Overseas Nursery Authority (ONA).
