Can I get any help with my childcare fees?
There are various schemes available to assist with childcare costs. We highly recommend visiting the Government website: www.childcarechoices.gov.uk. Many parents discover valuable information there and are pleasantly surprised to find they qualify for support when they didn’t expect it. It's worth checking out!
Tax Free Childcare
For every £8 you pay in, the government will automatically add £2, up to the value of £2,000 per child per year (or £4,000 for disabled children)
To find out your eligibility for this scheme, go to www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare. You wont be able to use Tax Free Childcare together with Tax Credits, Universal Credit or Childcare Vouchers.
Free Entitlement Funding
Exciting news! The 2023 Budget has introduced a significant change to Free Entitlement Funding. Starting in early 2024, children aged two from working families will be eligible for this funding. Then, in September 2024, it will be available for children as young as nine months. By September 2025, all working families with children from nine months old will qualify for funding. We encourage you to visit the government website to check your family's eligibility.
