working/child tax credit childcare element??

Hi, i'm sure this has probably been answered before but i can't find it anywhere. I'm currently filling in my claim form for tax credits and was wondering how much (or how little as the case may be!) you can earn as a household to recieve help towards the cost of childcare. I've a sneaking suspicion that we will earn too much anyway, but just wondered. Thanks.

It all depends on individual circumstances, there is no exact figure. If you use the calculator on the HMRC website, this will take into account your individual circumstances.

thanks for that. just been on their website and it looks like we might be entitled to something. the thanks button isn't there for some reason, so thanks!
