Tax Free Childcare

Tax free childcare is just one of the many different types of government funding support in childcare to help hard working parents with the Cost of Living.

For working parents who earn less than £100k p.a., the government will pay 20p in the pound up to a maximum of £2k p.a for every contribution working families make into their tax free childcare account online.

It can be used alongside the 15-30 hours free childcare provided by your local council, but unlike that, it is not restricted by what age this benefit can be drawn from.

So, if you have a 6-month-old baby, you're in luck! All you need to do is go to Childcare Choices or apply directly here.

Tax Free Childcare

Tax free childcare is the government's universal benefit — and it's not curtailed by the age of your child.
 
For every £1 you invest into your government managed tax-free childcare account, the state will contribute another 20p up to a maximum of £2000 a year.
 
Eligibility criteria apply, and you also cannot use it with the workplace nursery scheme.

30 Hours Free Childcare

This is offered to 3–4-year-old children and only for the term after they turn three.
 
It's available to working families where both parents are earning more than £167 a week but do not earn, individually, more than £100k p.a. each.
 
The good news is that the government is offering 30 hours free childcare to 2-year-olds from this September 2024 and for 9-month-old babies from September 2025!

15 Hours Free Childcare

Just like the above offer, this is available to all families—irrespective of their financial background.
 
The government is extending the 15 hours free childcare offer to two-year-old children from April 2024.
 
All we need is a termly parent declaration signed and delivered to us to secure your subsidy from the council.
 
Note that the hourly rates change from council to council.

Workplace Nursery Scheme

The Workplace Nursery Scheme gives working parents the biggest savings in childcare.
 
This is compatible with the 15 and / or 30 hours free childcare but not tax-free childcare, as it requires your employer to pay your fees from your pre-tax income.
 
We've saved some families £10k p.a. from their childcare fees on this measure alone (in comparison to the £2k that tax free childcare offers).
