Universal credit childcare costs

Hi.. I just wondered how does UC verify childcare costs? Do they check with the nursery if you've paid the amount you've claimed.. I don't particularly want my daughters nursery to know I claim universal credit.. Not because I'm ashamed, just don't like people to know my business..
Any one know?

"You’ll need to show proof of:

your childcare provider for each child, for example an invoice or contract that includes the provider’s registration number and full contact details
the amount you paid and when you paid it, for example a receipt or bank statement
You can report childcare costs and provide proof that you’ve paid by signing in to your Universal Credit account.

You’ll usually get the childcare amount in your next Universal Credit payment."
