FOR PARENTS
Tax free childcare
As well as the 30 hours of free childcare available for three to four-year-olds, you can get 20% off the cost of childcare.
For every £8 you pay into the Government’s Tax Free Childcare account, it will add another £2 – up to £2,000 a year, and you can spend it on any approved childcare – from nursery to holiday clubs.
Visit gov.uk/tax-freechildcare to check your eligibility.
Boots advantage card
If you’re a Boots Advantage Cardholder you can sign up to the free Boots Parenting Club, and collect points for money off.
You get eight points per pound – twice as many as usual through the Advantage card, and each point is worth 8p.
You’ll also get freebies and special offers.
Emma’s Diary
Emma’s Diary (emmasdiary.co.uk) is another useful club to join for free before you have a baby, because you get three freebie packs during pregnancy and the early days of your child’s life along with vouchers and offers.
Bounty Club
You can join the Bounty club (bounty.com or download the Bounty Pregnancy
app) for a free baby pack too. It also offers discounts and tips online, which can come in handy
Asda Baby and Toddler
Asda Baby and Toddler club (asda.com/ baby-club) doesn’t offer any freebies. While it sells itself on its tips and advice, you’ll also be sent details of special offers for some of the vital baby essentials.
Amazon.co.uk
You can create a Baby Wishlist on amazon.com and if you spend £20 on items on the list, you’ll get a free gift worth up to £19.
Discount websites
Checkout the discount websites – everywhere from Hot UK Deals to Magic Freebies UK and Latest Free Stuff, which have sections for kid deals and freebies – from nappy samples to toy sales.
