Anyone with double income & two kids

[Abz1982]

Can I ask, is there anyone on here, who works say..37-40 hours a week each and take home about 45k joint before tax and pays child care, can you advise if you receive help with nursery fees of about £840 (on fees of £1500 monthly).

Ive been giving entitled to a work out today with various scenarios, and just wondered how accurate it was - before we decide and I tell work what I plan to do.

I work part time time and our household income before tax is 45k. I was interested in going back to work full time so took a look and found out we're not entitled to any help with childcare. No matter if I work part time or full time.

Is that with 1 or two children? With one we could only get vouchers so currently get them but that will leave me with 1k to pay each month towards nursery fees! Thats more than 60% of my wages!!!

Sorry, forgot to say in my original post. I have 1 child.

Crazy isn't it. Without the support of my family, who provide free childcare, I couldn't afford to work!
