Three and four year olds in England are entitled to a minimum 12.5 hours of free learning per week for 38 weeks of the year. This can take place in nurseries, playgroups, preschools or at their childminders.

 

This will rise to 15 hours a week from 2010,

delivered flexibly over a minimum of three days.

Tax credits are designed to help people on low incomes. Child Tax Credit - a means-tested allowance for parents and carers of children - is paid to families whether you are working or not. Many working families can receive help with their childcare costs through the childcare element of Working Tax Credit.

 

If you use registered or approved childcare, depending on your income, you could get up to 80 per cent of your childcare costs back. This is up to a maximum award of £140 a week for one child and £240 a week for two or more children.
