answer text <p>As a proportion of all families who were eligible for tax-free childcare (TFC) and had qualifying childcare, the estimated take-up rate in the UK in March 2022 was 30%, corresponding to 384,280 families. Across the 2021-22 year, 40% of eligible families (512,415) used TFC.</p><p> </p><p>Take-up of TFC varies by region, as shown below. Use of TFC tends to be greater in regions with higher populations, such as London and South East England. However, over 2021-22 the estimated take-up rate is highest in the South West of England at 49% and lowest in Scotland at 26%.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Region/Country</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Estimated no. families eligible for TFC in 2021-22</strong> <strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>No users (and estimated % take up) in March 2022</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>No users (and estimated % take up) in 2021-22</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>United Kingdom</p></td><td><p>1,270,000</p></td><td><p>384,280 (30%)</p></td><td><p>512,415 (40%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>1,070,000</p></td><td><p>336,150 (31%)</p></td><td><p>450,395 (42%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>40,000</p></td><td><p>13,040 (33%)</p></td><td><p>17,425 (44%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>140,000</p></td><td><p>50,095 (36%)</p></td><td><p>65,620 (47%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and The Humber</p></td><td><p>100,000</p></td><td><p>33,605 (34%)</p></td><td><p>44,010 (44%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>90,000</p></td><td><p>30,915 (34%)</p></td><td><p>40,530 (45%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>100,000</p></td><td><p>33,695 (34%)</p></td><td><p>44,575 (45%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>140,000</p></td><td><p>37,755 (27%)</p></td><td><p>51,460 (37%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>170,000</p></td><td><p>39,220 (23%)</p></td><td><p>54,285 (32%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>200,000</p></td><td><p>61,265 (31%)</p></td><td><p>83,305 (42%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>100,000</p></td><td><p>36,555 (37%)</p></td><td><p>49,185 (49%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>60,000</p></td><td><p>13,575 (23%)</p></td><td><p>17,825 (30%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>110,000</p></td><td><p>22,710 (21%)</p></td><td><p>29,110 (26%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northern Ireland</p></td><td><p>30,000</p></td><td><p>9,070 (30%)</p></td><td><p>11,050 (37%)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
