child leaving nursery for school, what do I need to tell tax credits

pamelab21

My daughter will be leaving nursery and starting her first year at primary school soon, I will need to use a holiday club within the nursery but won't need to use it for her until holidays in 2015 as I can cover school hols from now until Xmas 2014 with my annual leave hols.
Anyway, we currently get help with her childcare and I know I need to phone them 7 days before to advise of the change but do I need to take what I am going to pay for holiday cover next year and divide this into monthly payments and tell them about that? Or do I just tell them that she is no longer in nursery and then advise them of the holiday club payments when she actually starts to use it in 2015?
I have another child at nursery and that's not changing so I would imagine we will still get help with that.

If its the same childcare provider, you call when the costs change and give an average for the year. So if you have any holiday charges you add that in. Usually they ask how much you pay per week, and if you pay the same all year round. So you would say no, then tell them what you pay on a non-holiday week and for how many weeks. Then say how much you pay for a holiday week and for how many weeks. They work out an average so it helps if you already have an average in your head to cross check.
Hope this makes sense x
