Carried out by the Childcare Voucher Providers Association (CVPA), the survey shows that more than half of respondents (50.5 per cent) feel that they are ‘not well informed’ about Tax-Free Childcare (TFC), while a further 13 per cent have not even heard of the scheme, which went live in April.
As of 16 August, 108,000 parents had successfully signed up to TFC, according to HMRC. This compares to over 780,000 parents currently using childcare vouchers.
A total of 98 per cent of parents said they would like for access to childcare vouchers to be kept open alongside TFC. As of April next year, childcare vouchers will be closed to new entrants.
