Tax free childcare

Does anyone know how to set this up please?? I’ve just got my first invoice - she starts next month so assuming it’s ‘pay month in advance’ I know I’ll be entitled - do I have to be back to work before I can set up?? Any help/ advice be greatly appreciated thank you 🫶🏽

You have to be back to work within the next month to qualify for the hours. https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-tax-free-childcare?step-by-step-nav=d78aeaf6-1747-4d72-9619-f16efb4dd89d

I think it’s 15 hours free childcare for working parents you’re looking for rather than tax free childcare because no everyone is eligible for this. Also with the pay they have probably sent you your invoice but it probably isn’t due until the 1st of September. Here’s how to check your eligibility and apply.

But I found it it’s not actually free. You still will need to pay the nursery for certain things or that’s what I was gonna have to do, they still wanted like 25-30 day to cover food and things

These are cut off dates- very silly rules. Phoned them up and basically u would miss whole term if u don’t come back to work on the first month.I am back to work in Dec and my baby starts nursery in Nov but we will only get free hours from January
