Tax Free Childcare Scheme

 

The government have introduced a scheme that allows parents and family to contribute into an account and they then “top up” the funds by 20p for every 80p paid in. For eligibility and details see https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tax-free-childcare-10-things-parents-should-know
