Using Tax-Free Childcare to pay for Breakfast Club

Tax-Free Childcare or Childcare Vouchers 

Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers are both government schemes designed to help with childcare costs.

Tax-Free Childcare

Tax-Free Childcare is a government scheme that pays 20% of childcare costs up to a maximum of £2,000 each year. Tax-Free Childcare is a UK-wide scheme covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The scheme is open to all parents of children under 12 (or under 17 if disabled). To apply, you must open a Tax-Free Childcare account online.

Childcare Vouchers and other employer schemes.

The following schemes are closed to new applicants:

· childcare vouchers

· childcare your employer arranges with a provider (known as ‘directly contracted childcare’)

If you joined one of these schemes on or before 4 October 2018 you might be able to keep getting vouchers or directly contracted childcare.

Bookings for Breakfast club are usually made through ParentPay, however, ParentPay is unable to accept Tax-Free Childcare or Childcare Voucher (CCV) funds directly, so there is a process in place to enable you to use your vouchers to pay for Breakfast Club. The funding is sent directly to the BWMAT bank account and is then allocated to each school.

Process for booking and paying for Breakfast Club if using Tax-Free childcare as payment:

1. Please notify the school office by email, of the days required for the term and your preferred payment method (e.g., Tax Free Childcare or Childcare Voucher). Please do not book your child onto ParentPay, as we will do this for you. This will then show as a "debt" on ParentPay for Breakfast Club, which is the amount required for payment.

    

2. Use your Tax-Free scheme to allocate funds to Bathampton Primary School, which should show as an Ofsted registered childcare option. Please quote your child's name if there is the option to do so.
3. The school office will allocate the funds to your child's ParentPay account when notification is received from BWMAT finance department. (N.B. this is usually at the end of each month and so the "debt" will be showing until the time we receive confirmation of receipt).
