Stressed childcare grant

amnasaf

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help. I am doing a social work degree. I live with my husband who's net salary is £2214 = £26568 a year. We have 2 children aged 6 and 4 and are expecting third one in sept. My monthly out goings are £168 approx interest for mortgage, £10 a month boiler insurance, £120 a year home insurance, £100 a month DFS payments, £1500 a year for daughters school fees and £ 500 school fees for son. I will be requiring childcare of approx £36 a week between sept and Jan for the new born and from jan to May £216 for all three. I am going to be starting my second year of my degree but dnt think i will be able to as the costs of childcare is too high. Please could someone help and tell me what the threshold is for childcare grant
