GOING BACK

Hi, im due to go back to work soon so unfort i have 2 put my lo in a day care centre. I have bin told that we can get help paying for her child care, if this is the case does any1 know how much help we get financially wise and how i go about claiming for it?
Hadnt even thought about this part of having a baby with everything else going on and now the time is getting closer im realising just how clueless i am about it all, lol
thank you

Hi, I think you are talking about working tax credits. If you look them up on the internet then you will find info on how to apply for them. I think that the amount you get is dependent on your family income but if you call them, they will be able to work it out for you. Hope this helps. Victoria xx
