Click to apply on-line for tax free childcare
You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
You can usually get Tax-Free Childcare if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
- in work – or getting parental leave, sick leave or annual leave
- each earning at least the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week – Currently (October 2018) this is £125.28 if you’re 25 or over

This earnings limit does not apply if you’re self-employed and started your business less than 12 months ago.
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (£2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare.

You may be able to get up to 30 hours free childcare (1,140 hours per year, which you can choose how you take) if your child is 3 to 4 years old.
- in work – or getting parental leave, sick leave or annual leave
- each earning at least the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week – currently (October 2018) this is £125.28 if you’re over 25
This earnings limit does not apply if you’re self-employed and started your business less than 12 months ago.

You can get 30 hours free childcare at the same time as claiming Universal Credit, tax credits, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare.
There’s one application for 30 hours free childcare and Tax-Free Childcare. As part of your application, you will find out if you can get both.
If you’re eligible for the extra hours, you sign up online to get a code to give to our nursery to reserve your place. You’ll get the extra hours once the next term starts.
