Tax free childcare help

Hi, wondering if anyone can let me know what I'm doing wrong. So I've set my gov.uk tax free childcare account up, picked the school I want paying and then paid some money in via standing order, the bank recognises the details. But, a few hours later it's back in my bank account never having been in my tax free childcare account and now at nearly 6pm on a Friday evening I can't get hold of anyone. Thank you x

Did you put your tax free childcare account number as the reference?

Yes, but just going to double check x

No, I didn't but just changed it, so fingers crossed that will sort it thank you

yeah it will bounce back if they can’t allocate it it’s usually there pretty quickly 👌

Hi all working families…

Please support my govt Petition: Remove the cap on tax-free childcare so it meets more families’ needs.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/602389

Please help by removing the £2000p/a CAP on tax free childcare so that it is more reflective of 20% of annual childcare. I live in Surrey and full time childcare in my area is £21k p/a per child. The current £2k CAP is only 9.5% of this.

I really appreciate this government support but removing the CAP so that we get the full 20% tax free would really help families, women especially go back to work.

Please support, sign and share my petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/602389

Huge thanks!!
