To date more than 391,000 parents have opened a Tax\u2013Free Childcare account and over 109,000 parents have used their account to make a payment to a childcare provider.<\/p>
<\/p>
Around 313,000 of the parents who have opened a Tax-Free Childcare account applied at the same time as for 30 hours free childcare. 30 hours free childcare saves parents using the full 30 hours up to £5,000 per child per year.<\/p>
<\/p>
Tax-Free Childcare account usage is substantially higher amongst parents who get Tax-Free Childcare only, compared to parents who have both a Tax-Free Childcare and 30 hours free childcare account.<\/p>
<\/p>
8,265 Tax-Free Childcare accounts have been closed since the scheme launched in April 2017.<\/p>
