A government scheme where for every £8 you pay into a special childcare account, the government adds £2. That's essentially a 20% discount on childcare costs, up to £2,000 per child per year (£4,000 if your child is disabled).
Up to £500 every 3 months per child (£2,000/year). Up to £1,000 every 3 months for disabled children (£4,000/year).
Example: Your childcare bill is £250/month. You pay £200 into your childcare account. The government tops it up with £50. You use the full £250 to pay your provider.

Apply online at gov.uk/tax-free-childcare. Same application as free childcare hours. Your provider must be registered with the scheme. You must reconfirm every 3 months.
