The maximum amount you can claim back each month is £646 for one child or £1108 for two or more children.

The Government-backed Tax-Free scheme essentially gives eligible families 20% off costs including our tuition sessions. You open an online Tax-Free Childcare account and the
Government adds 20p for every 80p you pay in. You then pay your tuition fees from that account. If you’re eligible, you’ll need to create an online childcare account via the Government Tax-Free Childcare site. It should take about 20 minutes to set up, and to do this you’ll need your national insurance number to hand (you’ll also need your unique taxpayer reference if you’re self-employed).
