Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) gives you a 25% government top-up on childcare costs — for every £8 you pay in, HMRC adds £2, up to £2,000 per child per year (£4,000 for disabled children). Available to working parents earning at least £183/week and no more than £100,000/year.
30 free hours extends the universal 15 free hours for 3–4 year olds to 30 hours for eligible working parents, saving around £5,000/year at typical nursery rates.
Childcare vouchers are now closed to new entrants but legacy users (enrolled before October 2018) may still benefit.
