    Best start has been mentioned earlier - https://www.entitledto.com and also try the DWP website for more information. As for the milking the cash cow comments, I think it's great that your missus wants to put her career on hold to bring up her child. Your salaries are similar to my household's and I warn you you will not get 80% of your childcare paid as mentioned earlier if she did choose to return to work. I got £239 towards a £420 PCM bill on a 3 day week.
