Tax Free Childcare is a Government scheme helping working families with their childcare costs in an affordable way.
For every £8 a parent pays in, the government will pay in an extra £2. Parents can receive up to £2,000 per child, per year, towards their childcare costs, or £4,000 for disabled children.
If you're a working parent with children under 12 (or under 17 for disabled children), you can open an online account to pay for registered childcare.
