Regarding the operating costs of the childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare schemes, I refer the Honourable Member to the answer given on 8 February 2018 (126730).

In March 2017, the government launched the Childcare Choices website which brings together information about all the different help with childcare offered by the government – including Tax-Free Childcare.

HMRC and DfE are working together on a communications and engagement programme, which includes national, regional and social media, and communications through industry stakeholders. Parents who have signed up for updates on the new schemes are also being notified by direct email when they become eligible. HMRC officials are continuing to attend industry events, across the UK, to promote Tax-Free Childcare to childcare providers, local authorities, parent groups and other childcare industry stakeholders.
