The Army Families Federation (AFF) wants to find out more about Army families’ experience of childcare for their under-fives and how these vary by location.

We have launched a survey covering issues like availability and cost, the impact on partner employment, as well as whether it has affected decisions such as career or location moves.

The survey runs until 6 December and is open to Service personnel, Reservists and their spouses or partners with children under five. Take part in the survey here

Access to childcare was one of the major challenges to employment highlighted in AFF’s 2024 employment survey.
