Question
What proportion of childcare providers in Wales does the Welsh Government estimate will be eligible for the employment allowance in the 2025-26 financial year?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Children and Social Care
National Insurance is a non-devolved tax and the responsibility of the UK Government, as is employment allowance.
On December 11, I published a Written Statement detailing the outcome of the latest review of the hourly rate paid to childcare providers who deliver the Childcare Offer. My officials will be publishing a technical note in due course which demonstrates the approach taken to the revised rate for 2025-26.
