Taking money out of tax free childcare account

[Knitsewthread]

Does anyone know how to do this? It seems to be possible from what I've read (appreciate the Government's top up is also withdrawn accordingly.)

But I can't see how to actually do it anywhere. I don't want to withdraw the whole amount, just some of it if that makes a difference.

If the only choice is to withdraw all of it do that and put whatever you don't need back in again.

I bloody hate It though, I have to get the calculator out each time to work out how much I need to put in and always seem to get it wrong for one child but not the other. Last month I paid childcare an extra 48p just so I could start from a clean slate this month.

I can't even work out how to do that! I'm either missing something or it's really not very clear!

I'm the same, have ended up with a lot more than I need in there and have something else that I could use some of the money for now.

You can withdraw a portion. I think it is in manage account next to your child's name and then make a withdrawal.

Aha you are right @Chickentimebomb. Thank you very much!
