Childcare support

[Newtothis213]

Hi All

I'm coming to the end of my maternity leave and will be returning to work shortly. I feel like it's a minefield trying to arrange childcare and working out costs etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can check what/if ant support I get with childcare costs? I currently claim UC as on SMP but I'm unsure if I'll get any when I return to work

Thanks xx

I found the government website really helpful, there are lots of questionnaires you fill out to tell you what you are entitled too.

I was unaware I could claim the tax back for the childminder, it saves us £76 a month!
