I wonder if the collective knowledge of Mumsnet can give me some info? I know a young married couple, L & M, who have 6mth old twins. They are both about to graduate from uni and L (the mum) starts work in Sept. M will look after the babies until he hopefully gets a job, too. What sort of financial help is available for them? With both of them working FT they will probably earn about £35-40K a year. I guess they can claim child tax credit - what about help with nursery fees etc? Over to you, Mumsnetters!
