Reception/Year 1/Year 2— Wraparound - Breakfast & Afterschool Club - Help with Costs -

Tax-Free Childcare

Our Tax-Free Childcare account is now live!  This means that eligible families can save up to £2,000 per child, per year on Breakfast & Afterschool Club costs – saving 20% on childcare costs. 

Who is entitled?

Working families, including the self-employed, earning under £100k (per-parent) and not already receiving Tax Credits, Universal Credit or childcare vouchers.  See the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.  For every £8 families pay into an online account, the government will add an extra £2, up to £2,000 per child per year.

How do I apply?

Visit the Childcare Choices website for further information on how to access Tax-Free Childcare. 

Here you can check your eligibility, apply for tax-free childcare and select ‘Feltham Hill Infant and Nursery School’ as your childcare provider.  You then pay money into your childcare account and make one-off regular payments to the school via the account.

Do I still book my child’s places via ParentPay?

Yes – however you will select ‘Pay Later’ rather than ‘Pay Now’ and make the payment directly into your tax-free childcare account.  In order to have access to this functionality, we ask you to provide us with your Tax Free Childcare Payment reference number in advance – please email office@fhi.hounslow.sch.uk with these details.  You will then be given access to TFC booking via ParentPay.  Your ParentPay account will show amounts outstanding that will then be reconciled against your TFC account regularly by the school.
