Childcare costs after maternity leave

I think it totally depends where you live/your situation. I’m in Scotland and know that we get 25% back when we pay into the childcare account so it’s a slight help and only get funded hours from 3. I think if you’re a single parent or on UC you can claim a percentage back as you wouldn’t qualify for the government 25% however, it may be different where you are x

Check it you qualify for hours ..we in the Midlands and quality for 30.hours funded.

I get funded hours in jan (term after hes 9 months) and uc help.with costs after its been paid but I need help with paying it upfront
