Childcare Accountants

About Childcare Accountants

Childcare Accountants does the accounts and tax for the childcare sector: day nurseries, registered childminders, and families who employ a nanny, across the UK. The work is carried out by Tidy Money Ltd, a practice regulated by the ACCA and owned by Preetesh Parmar FCCA. You can check the practice independently at tidymoney.com before you send us anything.

We are not a directory, and your details do not go to a panel of firms. An enquiry sent from this site arrives at the practice that would do the work, and nobody pays us to recommend them.

Engagement, Fees and Identity Checks

You tell us whether you run a nursery, work as a childminder, or employ a nanny, how you are set up, and what is outstanding. We come back with a fixed fee for the work and the date it has to be finished by. The quote is free and carries no obligation. Where your position is genuinely simple, we say so rather than quote for it.

Once the fee is agreed, anti-money-laundering identity checks come first, as they do at every UK practice. After that we ask for your records once, in a single list, rather than in a chain of emails around the working week.

Who We Act For, and the Limit on Our Advice

We act for childcare providers and nanny employers, not for parents claiming Tax-Free Childcare or funded hours. Those are dealt with through the government's own service, and there is nothing an accountant adds to a parent's claim.

Tidy Money Ltd is regulated by the ACCA and holds no permission from the Financial Conduct Authority. We do the tax and the accounts, the funding, the VAT and the payroll, not investment or pension advice, and we do not sell tax-avoidance schemes.

Sourcing and Review

The guidance on this site is written and reviewed by the Childcare Accountants editorial team. There are no named authors we cannot stand behind, no invented credentials and no biographies.

Every rate, threshold and date comes from GOV.UK or an HMRC manual, and carries the date it was last checked. Childcare funding has changed a great deal recently, so where a figure moved we say so, and the funded-hours content is England, as Scotland and Wales run their own systems. Everything was last checked on 29 July 2026, and anything we could not confirm against a primary source is not on the site.

There are no customer reviews or testimonials here. If that changes, they will be real and checkable.
