Can anyone help me because my head is totally spinning.
I work part-time and we have our ds at a childminders which costs £64.50 a week (reasonable I think).
My dh only earns £15,000 a year and I only earn £6,000 and yet since we put ds in the childminders, they have taken our WTFC which was £10 per week and replaced it with £36 per week to compensate us for childcare fees so we are only £26 better off..... Is this right?? My head is spinning and I just don't know anymore.
I tried to do a calculation based on me not working, just to see if it is actually worth having a job but that only gave us £341 per month and £260 of that went on nursery fees.
My head is exploding. Any advice would be more than welcome - right or wrong!!!
