Gov help with nursery fees

[Gibshername]

Hello.

anyone get help with childcare costs from government and if so, how does it work please? I’ve read you have to pay and then claim it back but how do you do this? I’m new to this. Ty x

Do you mean Universal Credit? That pays up to 80 % of your childcare costs from Ofsted registered childcare providers for those who are eligible.

Tax credits is another option where for every £8 you pay the government gives you £2.

@Whereisthesun99 ty! I’m not sure, I think it’s UC yeah. No idea how any of it works though

It’s tax free childcare not tax credits that for every £8 you pay the govt tops it up by £2, max £2000 a year.
