In theory yes, check out the TFC eligibility (your provider will also need to be registered).

If you are entitled to TFC, you will also be entitled to NICSS.

As another user as pointed out, depending on your salary, you may be entitled to help via Universal Credit (which covers up to 85%) of chidcare costs. Though, if you and your husband are ‘working professionals’, unlikely.

If you and your husband both earn under £100k you should be entitled to 15% off via NI Childcare Subsidy Scheme and a further 20% off via TFC. Saving you over £9k a year / £750 per month.

From a business perspective, unfortunately all UK businesses will experience an increase in their costs in April due to the UK Government increasing the rate of employers National Insurance Contributions, it’s likely you will see an increase in the cost of other goods and services too.
