Original release notes
Reminders are easier to find, and the childcare dates now help if you're about to start work. • The childcare deadlines card has a switch: turn it on and we'll remind you 2 weeks and 3 days before each term cut-off. • A one-time card under your estimate offers to turn on the reminders that apply to you. If you have no dates of your own, it offers a nudge on 6 April, when benefit rates change. • The Tax-Free Childcare reconfirmation reminder sits beside the dates too, once you've added your childcare answers. • Reminders are set on your phone. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and your phone asks for permission only when you turn one on.
