It takes about a minute. You'll see an estimate straight away — before we ask for any personal details.
Tell us a little about your family and we'll email a personalised report based on your children's ages.
If you want our help, we check with HMRC, prepare your claims and keep you updated until the money arrives.
We're a new service, so instead of reviews, here's exactly what you can hold us to.
Checking is free, and setting up Tax-Free Childcare and 30 hours is free. No recovery, no fee — ever.
We will never ask for your HMRC password or bank login. Never send them to anyone who asks.

Money we recover for you (tax refunds, backdated payments)
15% plus VAT, only when the money arrives. Nothing to pay if we don't recover anything.
No. We're an independent company and we're not affiliated with HMRC, the Department for Education or any government body. We help parents find and claim support they're entitled to, and we're registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
Checking is free and there's no obligation. Helping you set up Tax-Free Childcare and 30 hours free childcare is free. If we recover money for you — such as a Marriage Allowance refund, a tax refund or backdated payments — our fee is 15% plus VAT, only once the money arrives. If we don't recover anything, you pay nothing.
Yes. Every scheme is free to apply for on GOV.UK and you don't need us to do it. We exist for parents who'd rather have someone check everything and do the paperwork for them.
HMRC uses it to find your tax record. We need it so we can check exactly what you're owed and make claims on your behalf. It's encrypted with 256-bit encryption, only authorised staff can see it, and it's never used for marketing or shared with marketing partners.
Your children's ages decide which schemes you can get — for example, Tax-Free Childcare runs until the September after a child's 11th birthday, and funded hours start at 9 months. We only use their details to check and make your claims.
The first figure shows the most a family like yours could get. Your personalised report is based on your children's actual ages and your situation, but the final amount always depends on your circumstances and what you already claim.
It can. For example, you can't get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as help with childcare costs through Universal Credit. We check this with you before anything is claimed, so you only claim what leaves you better off.
Your report arrives by email as soon as you confirm your email address. Setting up childcare accounts usually takes days; HMRC usually processes Marriage Allowance and tax refund claims within a few weeks, but timings are up to HMRC.
We follow UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your details are encrypted, stored on secure servers in the UK/EU, only seen by staff who need them, and deleted when we no longer need them. You can ask for a copy of your data or for it to be deleted at any time.
We'll tell you honestly and you won't pay anything. If you don't confirm your email address, we delete your details within 30 days.
