If you are a working parent, you may be able to get up to £500 every three months to help with the cost of childcare. If you have a disabled child, you could get up to £1,000 every three months under the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme.
The money can be used to pay for childminders, nurseries, play schemes, holiday clubs and before/after school childcare clubs.
Depending on your circumstances you could also receive other support with childcare costs.
