Children of British military personnel to get free childcare

Better late then never,

The children of British military personnel will receive free childcare, the defence secretary has announced, in an attempt to modernise working conditions after recent criticism that the armed forces are not inclusive.
From September, breakfast and after-school clubs will be offered to service children between four and 11 years old.
The first pilots will begin at RAF High Wycombe and RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire, before the scheme is rolled out across the country through 2021.
It will cost up to £150m a year and benefit up to 44,000 children - it fulfils an election manifesto pledge made by the Conservative Party.
It is hoped that it will make the armed forces a more attractive career and easier for those serving on operations abroad.
