The Tax-Free Childcare scheme enables eligible working parents to make savings on childcare costs by paying into an online childcare account. The government then adds contributions to these, which are used to pay a registered childcare provider.
Employees will continue to have the option to join the University’s Childcare Voucher scheme until April 2018.
