Tax Free Childcare at Hazles Farm

What is Tax-Free Childcare?
Tax-Free Childcare is a government scheme that allows working parents to get 20% of their childcare costs paid by the government, up to £2,000 per child per year (£4,000 for a child with disabilities). This funding can be used to pay for nursery fees, after-school clubs, and other eligible childcare. 

Who can apply?
You may be eligible if you:

• Are working or self-employed
• Earn under £100,000 per year
• Have children under 12 years old (or under 17 if your child has a disability)

How it works:

1. Parents set up an account on the government’s Tax-Free Childcare website.
2. You pay money into your account, and the government adds a 20% top-up.
3. You can then use the funds to pay nursery fees directly to Hazles Farm Childcare.

Why use Tax-Free Childcare?

• It reduces the cost of nursery fees for families
• Gives you flexibility to use your childcare allowance as needed
• Can be combined with other funding schemes, such as the universal 15 hours or extended 30 hours, where eligible
