Tax-Free Childcare is a Government scheme to help working parents with the cost of childcare. Parents  / Carers can open an online account, which they can use to pay for childcare from a registered provider such as Gable House. For every £8 paid in, the government will pay in an extra £2. You can receive up to £2,000 per child, per year, towards childcare costs, or £4,000 for disabled children.
