    Not possible as far as i'm aware. The only people who get help with childcare costs is those on working tax credits.

    thanks for that, my son cares for me, which makes it impossible for him to work, my daughter in law works 3 days I thought there might have been some kind of help for them regarding childcare as he can't look after me and a baby this is just a recent chage of circumstance so any help at all would be gratefully received
