"Childcare Choices" is the Government's Tax Free Childcare scheme that offers 20% off childcare costs. This scheme allows families of children with both parents working a minimum of 16 hours per week at minimum wage or above to pay into a "Childcare Choices" account. For each child, every £8 a parent pays into the account, the Government will pay £2 with the total to be used to pay childcare costs. This has a maximum of £2000 per year per child (£500 in any 3 month period). It is not limited to just one early years setting (subject to your child's other settings being registered) and can be used once your child is at school against the cost of out-of-school clubs etc.

We do not charge a top-up fee for purely funded children. "Childcare Choices" can be used for families who receive an invoice for their childcare. Parents must check eligibility online and once registered, search for us. You then pay your invoice through the "Childcare Choices" account to our BACS account. We would ask that you please inform us of your 13 digit reference number before making a first payment so that we can match payments to children / invoices.
Should any refunds need to be made from us to you, if you use "Childcare Choices" we will transfer a refund back into your account.
