Tax Free Childcare Account

[LatteLover12]

I've posted this in the money section too but I know chat gets more traffic...

I've just seen some information on the ML MSE website about the govt 'topping up' payments into a childcare account by 20%

This has apparently replaced the old childcare voucher scheme.

Does anyone use this? Is it worth it?

Currently 7 months pregnant so no urgent need for childcare yet but I'd like to find out more.

Yes definitely worth it, you get up to £2k a year from the government. And super easy too - you add money to your account, you get the 20% top up and then you pay your childcare bill from the account.

Thank you!
