Maternity leave AND redundant - applying for jobs

Options
Just looking for any helpful opinions!
I am currently on maternity leave, and I will be made redundant at the end of this (I knew this pre mat leave). My mat leave ends soon, so I am starting to think about applying for jobs to start when it finishes. How should I show this on my CV? And how much should I mention in interview? I have no intention of being dishonest, but I am concerned it could jeopardise my chances.
