Important guidance

Questions parents ask about claiming

Why does Ofsted registration matter for claiming help?
Universal Credit, the Student Finance Childcare Grant, Care to Learn and Tax-Free Childcare only reimburse or top up payments made to an approved, registered provider (such as an Ofsted-registered centre in England). Unregistered private tutors cannot be used for these government schemes.
Does funding apply to in-centre sessions or online lessons?
Government childcare schemes apply to eligible in-person attendance at our Ofsted-registered Dagenham centre (Downing Road, RM9 6NA) while parents work, prepare to start work, or study — subject to DWP, HMRC or Student Finance eligibility rules. Online-only lessons at home do not qualify as childcare.
Can I claim Universal Credit childcare AND Tax-Free Childcare together?
No. GOV.UK rules do not allow you to claim Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as Universal Credit or Working Tax Credit. If you already receive Universal Credit and work, the 85% Universal Credit childcare element usually provides significantly higher support.
What paperwork does Max InTuition give me for my claim?
Every family receives an official itemised invoice and payment receipt from our portal showing our Ofsted registration number, centre address, your child's name, exact session dates/hours and the amount paid — ready to upload to your Universal Credit journal.
