This question was answered on 19th March 2026
The number of families that use Tax Free Childcare in these constituencies each year is published in table 12 of Tax Free Childcare statistics (Tax-Free Childcare Statistics, December 2025 - GOV.UK).

Eligible population data is not broken down at constituency level so it is not possible to calculate the proportion that are using the scheme.
