Hoping for some advice as can't seem to find a straight answer online!
I'm a single parent who works 4 days a week and gets help towards childcare via tax credits of which I believe is transitioning to universal credits by the end of the year.
My 3 years old currently attends nursery (attached to primary school) 5 mornings a week which is free, I have a childminder who covers the wrap around hours to enable me to work full days and covers the school holidays. I would like to look for 5 day jobs but my childminder only covers 4 (my current childminding agreement is classed as a full time place and from what I've seen, this appears to be the norm so no issues with that). If I claimed free 30 hours childcare for nursery, does anyone know if this means the support for wraparound care stops too as I would still need to pay for a full time place to cover before and after nursery but don't want increasing from 4-5 days to create more issues than it solves. Anyone in a similar position?
