your best bet would be to call the tax credits help line and give them alll your details etc then they will tell you how much you can get.

Does anyone know what bees vouchers are?? I've just read about them on a different posting & have no idea, I've never heard of them...

Hi Alsion_A just to say bees vouchers are from a company called Busy Bees nurseries and can be used to pay towards your childcare. My husbands company does them

im very interested in this as im looking to find work part time and i was told by the job centre i would get 80 percent of the childcare cost paid?

hi there, i am a childminder so i have had alot of experiance with both the 80% child care and child care vouchers, if your reciving tax credits then you are intitled to claim some of you childcare costs if you phone tax credits they can tell you exsactley how much they will pay you. the child care vouchers are given throught your employer, your childcare provider gets the childcare fees directley for your employer on a monthy bacis. i hope i could help. if you have any more questions just send me a msg. emma xx

i phoned the inland revenue about help with chils care costs and told i was entitled to nothing as our income is over 23 thousand a year, but lets be honest when u have a mortgage and bills to pay you have nothing left so its still imposible for me to afford childcare costs but there is no help for me so im stuck on what to do.
