New Mom, what am i entitled to, or should i look into claiming????? HELP

[diddle]

I am due to become a new mom any day now.
I am a childminder, so as far as i know cannot claim whatever tax credit it is that allows you to pay your childcarer.
But what else may i be entitled to as a new mom??

anyone have a clue?

Child tax credit - depending on household income
Child benefit - flat rate to everyone

You'll probably get application forms for both in your Bounty pack when db is born.
