Private schooling

[york310]

I am looking into enrolling my son into a private pre-school when he is three. He is only 1yr old at the moment and is currently enjoying nursery 2-3 days a week. I pay for this using a salary sacrifice scheme through work which reduces the payment with tax relief. How long can this continue for? Can this go towards helping towards private pre-school/reception class when he's three years old? Are there any other ways to reduce the costs if possible -goverment help etc??

If what you're using at the mo is the childcare voucher scheme then yes it can continue for private pre-school/reception as long as the school accepts them. Also check if they accept the 15hrs of free nursery care a week you are supposed to get from when they turn 2.
