Childcare Choices

Childcare Choices is the Government’s help to pay for childcare costs for parents of babies, toddlers and teenagers. Visit the website and answer some questions to find out what support is available to you. Options depend on the age of your child and how much you earn there is:

  • help to pay for childcare, if you earn less than a certain amount per year
  • tax free childcare where you can save up to £2000 a year
  • 15 hour of free childcare for 2 years olds in families earning less than a certain amount each year
  • 15 hours of free childcare for children over the age of 3. You may be able to get 30 hours free depending on how much earn.
  • tax credits for childcare
  • support while you study
  • universal credit for childcare
  • help for childcare costs for disabled children up to the age of 16
