How to find out if I can have childcare credits?

[Bella2010star]

Just wondering how I find out what money I am entitled to if I put my daughter into nursery. I am lucky at the moment my mom cares for her whilst I am at work three days a week however I am going to need to start working a 4th day so need to put her in nusery. I am not lucking forward to doing this but we really can not afford for me to only be working three days a week now.

This site should help.

Right as suspected we got nothing :( however it is really difficult to work out as I am a sessional member of staff and only get paid term time for some hours that I do so some months I earn next to nothing.
