Has anyone found holiday clubs that accept the tax free childcare 30hrs? Would be happy to put the little in there for the full week and top up the hours as required.

I have found some that accept payment from tax free account so you still pay but get the government boost.

I am in North London

It's 2 different things. Tax free childcare through the government account is one thing. The 30 free hours for 3-4 years olds is completely separate and usually term time care or some nursery's spread the discount over the whole year but they can only claim it during term time.

Ah thanks for clarifying that I cannot use 30hrs for holiday clubs.

It's really confusing. If your employer does childcare vouchers that just adds to the complications.

30 free hours are term time only.
Tax free childcare should be able to be used at holiday clubs and accredited sports providers etc.
You can have both.

If u have childcare vouchers,u have to work out whether vouchers or tax free Childcare is better for you. However new joiners to a company cannot get childcare vouchers anymore.
