1) Help Paying For Childcare
Tax-Free Childcare
Tax Free Childcare is an online payment account, topped up by the Government, which parents use solely to pay their childcare costs. For every £8 that families pay in, the Government will make a top-up payment of £2, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year (or £4,000 for disabled children).
30 hours free childcare
30 hours childcare for three and four year olds will be available in England from September 2017. This doubles the existing 15 hours currently available and could save working families up to £5,000 a year.

2) Childcare Tax Free Vouchers
As a parent juggling the demands of work and home, you’ll know how important it is to be able to find affordable, reliable childcare.
Childcare Vouchers are a great way for employers to give working parents help with dependent children. They can help you find quality childcare to suit the needs of your family – and, because you don’t pay tax or National Insurance on Childcare Vouchers, you can save about £1,000 per year. Not to mention the big savings on different lifestyle products and services we make available to our Childcare Voucher users.
