The NHS have employed you? Really? When you can't tell the difference between the letter d and the word 'the'?

Lol, I was interested to know what a "d nursery" was

foxinsocks · 02/04/2010 18:42

ah is that what it was

I was waiting to find out where a b and c nursery and childminder were

littleducks · 02/04/2010 18:43

I think it's the total they look at, doesn't matter if it's split over different places.
If you have a look on the tax credit website they might have a bit more detail.

ROFL at "d" and all the comments being about "d" I am beginning to find this place more home-like

Have you actually found a childminder who will do evenings, or nights? Very few of those around.

Tax Credits guides
WTC2
WTC5

Please read these documents so that you understand how the childcare element of WTC works. You have to work 16 hours or more AND so does your partner (unless fitting in a category which does not need to meet that requirement). If you are a single parent, then you need to work 16 hours or more.
Max entitlement for 1 child is £140 a week (£175 * 80%).

How nice you all are.

I think you can claim, have you tried calling their helpline?

Hayleycm · 02/04/2010 19:56

what is going on? why are so many taking the piss?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/04/2010 20:00

hayley, you are new too, I wonder if you have realised that txtspk is not really acceptable to lots of MNers.

Poor OP, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Trafficcone · 02/04/2010 20:02

An NHS?? You mean there are more than one???
I can't get my head round this post, the 16 hour
rule applies to WTC and how many hours you WORK in d-job innit.
Your childminding/nursery choices only matter when
you claim the childcare element of CTC.

I'm worrying what NHS takes on d-staff who can't see the obvious difference between working and childcare.
