As the school holidays come to an end, families are being welcomed to check if they’re entitled to additional help for breakfast and after school clubs.
If eligible, Tax-Free Childcare is for parents or carers with children aged up to 11, or 17 if their child is disabled; and for every £8 deposited into an account, the government will top this up with £2 up to the value of £500 every three months, or £1,000 if their child is disabled.
The money in the Tax-Free Childcare account can be put towards:
- Childminders
- Breakfast
- After school clubs
- Approved play schemes.

Email JaimeIn June, as many as 308,000 families across the country benefitted from using Tax-Free Childcare, but HMRC says that thousands are missing out.
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said, “As your children head back to school this autumn, don’t miss out on the opportunity to receive your 20% top-up to help pay for their childcare.
“It is quick and easy to sign-up, just search ‘tax-free childcare’ on GOV.UK.”
