👶✨ Childminders + Making Tax Digital = Chaos incoming…

You’re amazing at looking after tiny humans — but HMRC suddenly expects you to understand capital allowances, cash basis, MTD rules, and about 47 things no one told you about.

Meanwhile you’re here thinking:
“I just want to run my childcare business… not become an accountant.”

Receipts in a drawer.
Spreadsheets you don’t trust.
And now HMRC wants it all digital?!

Relax. I help childminders make sense of all the confusing bits —
what you can claim, how cash basis actually works, and how to get MTD-ready without spending hours tearing your hair out during nap time. 😅. If you can send a what’s app pic, i can do the rest.

I can get your books organised, simple, and stress-free so you can focus on the kids, not the tax jargon.

Message me for more information on how I can help.

🚗 Childminders – are you still using the mileage rate on your tax return?

The HMRC mileage rate hasn’t increased in years… meanwhile petrol, insurance and repair costs have soared.

If you use your car a lot for childminding, Capital Allowances could save you FAR more tax than mileage claims.

After adjusting for personal use, you may be able to claim:
✔ Petrol & diesel
✔ Insurance
✔ Repairs & servicing
✔ Breakdown cover / roadside assistance
✔ Road tax
✔ Finance interest costs
✔ And depreciation through capital allowances

I’ll calculate everything for you so you can still complete the rest of your own tax return.

💷 Fees (also tax deductible):
• £75 for the first year (or any year you change vehicle)
• £50 for following years

Simple, affordable and often saves childminders hundreds in tax.

Message me to see if Capital Allowances would work better for you. Note you can only change method when you change your vehicle.
