View Full Version : Another funding question
If I sign up for the 15 free hours for three year olds, can the parents also continue to use the governments tax free childcare scheme to pay for the other hours?
Hope that makes sense!

30 hours free childcare - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare)
It says here:
'You can get 30 hours free childcare at the same time as claiming Universal Credit, tax credits, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare'
But I would always recommend a family get personal advise from the helpline as it is all so complicated and I wouldn't want to get it wrong!
This is best place to start: Childcare Choices | 30 Hours Free Childcare, Tax-Free Childcare and More | Help with Costs | GOV.UK (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/)

I've never really thought about it, but I do have parents who use 15/30 hours funding and tax free childcare so they obviously can!

Yes!
Because they only use it to pay for additional hours it's fine.
