How does it work?

Visit the Childcare Choices website for further information on how Universal Credit Childcare works. 

Universal Credit can reimburse up to 85% of your eligible registered childcare costs. There is a monthly cap of £1,014.63 for one child and £1,739.37 for two or more children. You need evidence uploaded to your UC account which could be in the form of your ParentPay receipts.  You can request an email from the school with our name, registration number, address and phone number, the child/ren that we look after, the type of childcare we provide. 

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

Yes – please continue to book as you do now using the ‘Pay Now’ functionality.
