To submit a claim to Universal Credit for reimbursement of costs, you must have paid for an invoice. The invoice can be in advance of care that has not yet happened, or in arrears for care that you have already used.

When entering details about your Childcare Providers, please enter tiney's details as below.

tiney are an Ofsted registered Childminding Agency, and your personal childcare provider is registered via tiney, so Universal Credit will recognise tiney's Ofsted number.

Provider Name: Tiney

Registration number: CA000038

Address: International House, 12 Constance Street, London, E16 2DQ

Number: 020 4579 9034

Email: community@tiney.co

Your childminder's tiney registration number (beginning with TY) is for tiney's use only, and Universal Credit will not be able to identify your childminder using this.

When entering the payment details to Universal Credit, you will be asked to enter the payment total and date, as well as the dates of the childcare included in the payment. All of this information will be included in your invoice and payment receipt.

The receipt will be emailed to you once you have paid an invoice in full. This includes tiney's details as stated above, so you can use this as evidence of payment when reporting childcare costs to Universal Credit.

You can also contact us at payments@tiney.co to request any further information or a copy of any receipts required.

While reimbursement is the most common process, sometimes Universal Credit may want to make payment for childcare directly. In this case, payment must be made to tiney to be processed on the childminder's behalf, using the below details. Please ensure that an appropriate reference (e.g. your child's name) is used, to allow us to process payment quickly.
