Is there any help for self-employed people equivalent to childcare vouchers?

I'm schedule d. I also have a sole trader company - currently dormant. I'm about to start doing some work. I work in creative industries and my work will be speculative initially. Can I get any help with childcare costs?

Would you qualify for Working Families Tax Credit? It's based on income, savings, age of children etc. Try using EntitledTo to see if that will tell you if you are able to get any benefits.

As far as I am aware there is nothing like childcare vouchers for self employed people. So I think it will be down to if you qualify for Childcare Element of WTC or not. HMRC: Tax Credits

Thanks nannynick! really grateful for you taking the time. i'm such a novice with all this!
