Morning all. We need your help - and your opinions please!
You may have seen/heard today's news that the government has just announced an extra £300m to help with childcare costs when the universal credit starts in 2013.
According to the reports, parents on low incomes who are working less than 16 hours a week will be eligible for this childcare support - which, it's thought, is going to be worth up to £175 a week for one child and £300 for two or more, and will benefit 80,000 families receiving universal credit.
You can read more about it all here and here.
We have been asked what Mumsnet thinks about these new plans - so we'd love to know. Do please tell...
Thanks, MNHQ
