Question: Where can I go to find out if I can get tax free childcare or free childcare during the pandemic

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Check if you can get Tax-Free Childcare and 30 hours free childcare during coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: If you’re on furlough
section_content: If your employer has no work for you they might be able to keep you on the
payroll and put you on temporary leave instead. This is known as being put ‘on
furlough’ and you’re paid 80% of wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention
Scheme.
You should apply, or reconfirm if you already have a childcare account, if
your wage, and your partner’s wage if you have one, is:

at least the National Minimum Wage for 16 hours a week
below the normal minimum income requirement, but you’d normally expect to meet the income requirement

Has some information about eligibility for government-subsidized childcare.
The info here is more about working.  There really is nothing about child care or tax free child care.

If you’re claiming Universal Credit

Tax-Free Childcare, you cannot apply or reconfirm for Tax-Free Childcare - if you stop claiming Universal Credit you can apply for Tax-Free Childcare again

section_headers: If you’re not able to work or you’re working less
section_content: You should apply or reconfirm if you already have a childcare account if
you’re:

getting sick pay or statutory sick pay (SSP) – time spent on sick pay or SSP will count as working and meeting the minimum income requirement
taking unpaid leave to care for others, such as your children - if you expect your income to meet the minimum income requirement (at least the National Minimum Wage for 16 hours a week) after coronavirus
living with someone who has coronavirus - you must stay at home - if you expect your income to meet the minimum income agreement (at least the National Minimum Wage for 16 hours a week) after coronavirus
working less, your hours have been reduced and your wage: 
meets the minimum earnings requirement
is below the normal minimum earnings requirement but you would normally expect to earn above it



If you’re made redundant
If you’re made redundant you’re not eligible to apply or reconfirm you have a
childcare account because you’re:

no longer in work
not meeting the minimum income requirement

If you start employment again and expect to earn above the minimum income
requirement you can apply 31 days before you start your new job.

Has eligibility information about government childcare accounts. Addresses question topic.
There is good information here, but it doesn't mention child care that is tax free.  There could be more information.
