Did you know that if your child attends our Breakfast Club or After School Club, the government may pay for 20% of that cost? This can be done through a Tax-Free Child Care Account.

You may be able to get a Tax-Free Child Care Account if:

Over the next 3 months you and your partner (if you have one) must each expect to earn at least:

• £1,976 if you’re aged 23 or over
• £1,909 if you’re aged 21 or 22
• £1,420 if you’re aged 18 to 20
• £1,000 if you’re under 18 or an apprentice

This is at least the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week on average.

We can help calculate your average 3-month wage if you are self-employed, or work on-and-off during the year.

For more information on eligibility please visit: www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare 

Families receiving Universal Credit are not eligible for a Tax-Free Child Care Account because they are able to reclaim up to 85% of childcare costs through Universal Credit. If your family receives Universal Credit, and would like help reclaiming childcare costs, please get in contact with the school.

With rising costs of living, these government schemes can help out with costs.

If you would like help applying for government schemes to pay for child care, please feel free to get in contact with the school - enquiries@threepeaksacademy.org.uk
