Help for Working Parents
We know that may hard working parents are committed to their child’s education but find after school tuition expensive. You may be surprised to find that there are a number of ways to make it more affordable! All our centres are OFSTED registered which means that working parents may be able to use some of the below schemes to help pay for tuition.
Childcare Vouchers:
If you have an employer, you may already use this scheme to pay for childcare. As we are an OFSTED registered centre you will be able to use Childcare Vouchers to pay us too. Lots and lots of parents have been able to get help with payment. If you don’t use this already, you can ask your employer to pay some of your wages to a Childcare Vouchers provider. The advantage is that the charges are made before tax, saving you in effect 20% of the cost.
There are lots of chilcare voucher providers, and we are registered with many of them.
You may already have a childcare vouchers service, if not, ask your employer to help.
Tax Free Childcare:
If you are self-employed or your employer does not have childcare vouchers, the government has provided a scheme for you. You can set up a Tax Free Childcare account for free, you get £2 from the government for every £8 you put in?
You can use these in the same way as childcare vouchers to pay us.
Go to www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare to find out more.
Universal Tax Credit
If you receive Universal Tax Credit you may be eligible for help also. Our advice is to call the helpline, tell them your childcare costs have gone up, and ask if they are able to help. Lots of parents have used this to help pay for after-school tuition and holiday schools. From time to time we are asked to provide evidence that the tuition has taken place.
