3 Ways To Help With Your Childcare Costs ✅

* this blog is not financial advice *

Let’s face it — the Easter, May, and Summer holidays are coming in fast, and with around 42 days of school holidays between now and the end of August, that’s a lot of planning (and budgeting) for parents to think about.

We know childcare costs can add up quickly, but there’s good news — there are some clever ways to save when booking with us at Campz! Whether you're booking a few days or going all-in for the summer, here are three ways to stretch your budget without cutting the fun. 👇

1. TAX-FREE CHILDCARE 💸

This one’s a game-changer — and yet loads of parents don’t even realise they’re eligible!

Here’s how it works:

• For every £8 you pay into your online childcare account, the government adds £2.

• You can get up to £500 every 3 months per child (that’s £2,000 a year).

• If your child is disabled, that goes up to £1,000 every 3 months or £4,000 a year.

• You can combine this with 30 hours free childcare too, if you’re eligible!

🎯 It’s super easy to set up and can be used for your Campz bookings!

2. UNIVERSAL CREDIT SUPPORT 💼

If you're working and receiving Universal Credit, you might be able to claim back a big chunk of your childcare costs – including Campz sessions!

• Get up to 85% of your childcare costs covered.

• That’s up to £951/month for one child, or £1,630/month for two or more (as of April 2025!).

• It covers holiday clubs, after-school clubs, breakfast clubs — you name it.

💡 You’ll usually pay the fees upfront, then claim them back through your Universal Credit account. We can provide a letter of the dates and amount you have paid to us so you can claim back 🙂
