Child Care Costs help

michelle1983

Hi There i am currently claiming as a single parent and get 70% of my childcare paid for. I work part time.
I am considering getting back with the babies dad who also work part time well 3 days per week and was wondering if i would still be entitled to help towards the costs of our childcare and if so how much? Would it still be 70%?

Thanks xx

Has a benefits calculator where you can put your details into to see what your entitlement is.

both of you would need to be working a minimum of 16 hours a week each, to get help with childcare.
How much you receive will be sependant on household income.
also, from April you would have to be working at least 24 hours a week between you ( with one working at least 16 hours) to be entitled to any working tax credit.
