Martin Lewis fan saves almost £2k on nursery fees through scheme he had 'never heard of'

A Martin Lewis fan has thanked the money expert after taking his advice and managing to save nearly £2,000 on childcare costs.

Martin alerted parents to Tax-Free Childcare in a recent episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show, a scheme launched by the Government in 2017 which allows parents to claim money to help with paying for the likes of nurseries and childminders. And one viewer shared that the information had helped him with his own costs, saying that he was one of many parents who had previously been completely unaware of the scheme.

"Thank you so much for alerting me to Tax Free Childcare for our nursery fees, worth almost £2k in savings," the fan wrote to Martin via Twitter. "I'm furious though that neither I, or any of the many other new parents I now know had ever heard of it till you mentioned it."
