Childcare Grant Calculator?

Bunnymoo

Hi,


My husband and I are currently looking into the financial logistics of me going back to uni in Sept 2015 to do a PGCE as I am being made redundant this year


We have three children who will be 3, 5 & 7 by September 2015. (Currently 2, 4 & 6)


Does anyone know if there is a Childcare Grant Calculator online for 2015 or have a spread sheet to calculate it? I know the rules have changed recently and not sure how it works now


Were I to get a place on a PGCE we don't think it would be feasible without some sort of help with childcare costs.


My husband's taxable income P60 (ie entire household income once I'm made redundant) will be circa £20,000. Our mortgage is around £850/month. And childcare will be approx £160/wk.


I do not want to apply for a uni course if we cannot survive financially as a family.


Thanks in advance,
BM
