Just wanted to make you all aware of this option for those using informal family childcare.

My mum has looked after my children ad hoc while I work, so I'm really thrilled that it looks like I can "give" her my NI stamp from child benefit for the years I've paid enough qualifying class 1 contributions, and possibly backdate this.
She is currently pre-retirement and a few years short of enough stamp to get the full state pension, due to caring responsibilities and low paid, part time work. It's worth a read if you might be in a similar position.
