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

Tottenhall Infant 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 fees.

It needs to be noted that this is not a universal benefit and so parents must go online to see if they are eligible following this link.
