Can I apply for childcare vouchers via Nasa Umbrella?

Information regarding childcare vouchers

The childcare vouchers scheme was closed to new applicants in October 2018. We are therefore unable to apply for any childcare vouchers for new employees. The childcare vouchers scheme was replaced by Tax Free Childcare which is open to all qualifying parents.

Tax-Free Childcare Eligibility

  • Parents will need to be working, and expect to earn at least the National Minimum or Living Wage for at least 16 hours a week, on average. (This equates to at least £1,853.28 for people over 23). 
  • Parents must earn less than £100,000 a year.
  • Employees must have a National Insurance number and at least one of the following: British or Irish citizenship, settled or pre-settled status, permission to access public finds (UK residence cards will tell you if you can't do this). 
  • To apply, children must be 11 or under and live with their parent (usually). Children stop being eligible at the beginning of the next September after their 11th birthday. Adopted children are also eligible, but this excludes foster children. 

You would need to apply for Tax-Free Childcare directly via the .gov.uk website, not via Nasa Umbrella - Apply for Tax Free Childcare
