Tax free childcare and 30hour funding

Please could someone help me with nursery fees? I can’t get my head round it all!!

My DS is at nursery for two full days per week and we currently pay £356 a month, from April he will be entitled to the 30hours from what I gather but I’ve seen about tax free childcare too, is this something that works with the 30 hours, so say the nursery bill reduces to £100 per month, could I open a tax free account and pay £80 per month and then it would be topped up to the £100 required? How does it work, it says about an account so do I set the standing order to nursery up from that account?

When my older child was at the same nursery and he became entitled to the 15 hours then they averaged it out over the year so the payment was the same every month so I’m guessing they do the same with the 30hours now.
My workplace have never done the voucher scheme so we’ve always just paid the invoice as a straight standing order so this is all new to me and seems too good to be true!!!

Also could I use the tax free option now and save £70 ish a month now before the 30hours kick in?
