The Childcare Affordability Programme (CAP) is launching four pilots to explore which methods of childcare best help parents find long-term employment in the capital. The two-year schemes will run in five as yet unnamed London boroughs from April.
The London Development Agency (LDA), which has spearheaded the CAP since 2005, will run two of the pilots and the other two will be led by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The first trial will see around 500 families having 100 per cent of their childcare costs paid by HMRC, while in the second, HMRC will provide some degree of subsidy to all parents of disabled or SEN children.
