Throughout the summer holidays, the government has been reminding parents seeking help for childcare costs that they can use Tax-Free Childcare (TFC). This is worth up to £2,000 per child per year, to pay for regulated holiday clubs. Findings from a recent survey by YouGov suggest that:
- 31% of parents feel stressed about arranging childcare for the school holidays.
- 30% of parents are concerned about balancing their job and school holiday childcare.
- 54% of parents indicate that they look forward to their children returning to school in September.
