Useful information about paying your childcare fees
Tax-Free Childcare

What it is: This scheme allows parents to receive a government top-up of 20p for every 80p they pay into a Tax-Free Childcare account, effectively providing a 25% boost to childcare payments, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year.

Eligibility: You must be working, and your childcare provider must be registered with Ofsted or an equivalent body. This can be used for various childcare services, including nurseries and after-school clubs.
For more information or to register, please see https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare

Childcare vouchers
Some workplaces offer childcare vouchers which are a salary sacrifice scheme that allows working parents to pay for childcare directly from their salary before tax and National Insurance is deducted. We offer workplace childcare vouchers and salary sacrifice schemes, such as: 
 
·       Enjoy Benefits
·       TEDS group
·       EdenRed
