Do you have a child under 5?
If so you may be entitled to Government help with childcare costs.
This could include:
• Tax-free childcare
• 15 hours free childcare for eligible 2-year-olds
• 15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds
• 30 hours free childcare for working families with 3 and 4-year-olds
• Tax credits for childcare
• Universal credit for childcare
• Support while you study
We’ve all faced disruption over the last couple of years, and getting the support you’re entitled to can help make sure your child is ready for the next stage. It can help them:
• make friends
• improve their social skills
• have extra routine in their lives
You can also save money and get some time back to rest, work or study.
