Tax free childcare credit

Tax-Free Childcare is a new UK-wide government scheme to help working parents with the cost of childcare.

St. John’s C.E. Primary School has now registered with the HM Government Services as a Childcare provider. For parents who have opened an online Childcare Account for Tax-free Childcare you can now pay through this account to pay for your Breakfast Club and After School fees.

It needs to be noted that this is NOT a universal benefit and thus parents must go online to see if they are eligible following this link: www.childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk.

If you have any questions regarding registration, you can access support on the following link: www.childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk.
