Extension of the NICSS for School Aged Childcare

The Northern Ireland Childcare Subsidy Scheme was recently extended to school age children (4 to 11) in addition to those aged 0-4.

Registration for school age children has now opened from 21st July!

Eligible working parents will be able to receive a 15% childcare subsidy - up to £184 per month.

To be eligible parents must be registered for Tax Free Childcare (TFC) and their childcare provider must be signed up with HRMC as a TFC Provider.

Don’t forget, if you have more than one eligible child, you will need to complete the process separately for each child.
