Tax-Free Childcare Information

Eligibility Criteria:

• Work 16 or more hours per week
• Have a child aged 11 or younger
• Available to all eligible workers, including the self-employed
• Each parent must earn less than £100,000 annually
• Cannot be used in conjunction with other childcare schemes
• Both partners in the household must be employed, with a minimum weekly earning of £131 each
  

How the Scheme Works:

The Government's Tax-Free Childcare scheme offers families a 20% discount on childcare expenses, which includes our tuition sessions.

By opening an online Tax-Free Childcare account, the Government will contribute 20p for every 80p you deposit.

You can then use this account to pay for your tuition.

Setting Up Your Account:

If you qualify, you'll need to set up an online childcare account through the Government's Tax-Free Childcare website.

This process takes approximately 20 minutes. Make sure you have your national insurance number ready (and your unique taxpayer reference if you're self-employed).

How the Scheme Works:

Universal Credit provides financial assistance directly to parents or guardians. If you or your partner are working or about to start working, you can claim up to 85% of your childcare costs, including our tuition sessions.

Childcare Vouchers Information

Important Note:

The Childcare Vouchers scheme is now closed to new applicants. However, if you are already part of a scheme through your employer and they continue to support it, you can still use these vouchers.

How the Scheme Works:

Existing members can continue to use the Childcare Vouchers, which are obtained through a salary sacrifice of up to £55 per week.

These vouchers can be used to pay for childcare services, including tuition at Nord Tuition.

Tax Credits Information

Eligibility Criteria:

• Applicable for children aged 0-15, or 16 if disabled
• Paid directly to parents or guardians

How the Scheme Works:

Tax Credits are no longer available for new applicants and have largely been replaced by Universal Credit.

However, if you are currently receiving Tax Credits, you can still use them to cover up to 70% of your childcare costs, including our tuition fees.

The payments are made directly to you, and you then use these funds to pay your childcare provider as agreed.
