You can get WTC on the hours you're working, only one of you need work 16 hours, hth.

You won't get help with chilcare unless you're both working 16 hrs.

Right Ive just been told by WTC I should be entitled to 80% towards my childcare cost which is great

The nursey I have been looking at will only do minimum of 1 full day or 2 half days.

My wrking hours are mainly evening apart from 1 half day. My partner looks after his son when I wrk evenings so my childcare I only need 1 half day but will have to pay for 2 and will then use 2.

My question is will WTC cred only help wi the half a day I need or will it help wi both half days. I will be wrking 16 hrs

Your entitlement to childcare help will stop if your partner gets laid off again
