I have just got a job working for my old compnay, and basically, it's really not going to be worth my while, given that over half of my income will go on a childminder, which means we will actually be worse off than we are now (and I'll be working more hours)
However, as we are not classed at a "low income family" (ha!) we don't qulaify for working tax credits.
The comany I work for dont do childcare vochers either. DP is going to try and persuade them today (he works for the smae fimr) but I'm not holding my breath.
So what do I do if I can't get childcare vouchers? I really don;t want to get up at 5.30am 3 times a week (plus do a part time evening job til midnight in order to keep as afloat) for no return whatsoever.
(sorry, I'm moaning again. It just seems that whenever we get to a point where we are getting our heads above water, someone pushed us under again)
