The universal 15-hour free childcare program applies to England only. Different programs operate in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each nation maintains its own distinct childcare support schemes and systems. We need to revisit this with detailed research on the programs in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    Superseded by #1644, which audits UK childcare programme coverage including the devolved gaps. The plan doc for regional childcare programmes is on main via #2386 (docs/book/programs/gov/dfe/regional-childcare-plan.md). Closing in favour of #1644.
