Tax-Free Childcare is a government initiative that provides financial support to eligible working parents, helping them cover the costs of childcare.

For every £8 you pay into your childcare account, the government will contribute an additional £2 to use towards the cost of approved childcare. This applies to both wraparound care and holiday clubs.

You apply online through the UK government’s official website. Once your account is set up and approved, you can start making payments and receiving the government top-up.
