Extra child tax credits when putting baby in nursery

CLH_X3 · Jan 13th, 2012, 02:37 AM

I'm thinking of putting my lo in nursery for 1 day a week ... For those of you who do put there lo in nursery for 1 or 2 days how much extra help do you get money wise ..

I know nurserys by me are like 50 odd pounds a day

You'll only be eligible if you're putting LO in nursery so you can work, and then only if your household income is below a certain level.

You only get help if yiur going to work.

The maximum is 70% of the fees but that's for singlr mums.

Are you looking at finding work for the day LO is in nursery? You can claim childcare vouchers which save you tax on the nursery upto around £240 per month, it comes straight from your salary so it's only for employed parents.
If not working then ofcourse there's no extra benefit.

It's 80% for people who get the maximum CTC and get WTC.
