The Astute Childcare

Working Tax Credit/ Universal Credits :

If you are qualified to claim a working tax credit or Universal tax credits, you may find that care is more affordable than you believe! As we are Ofsted registered, we are able to accept part of your working tax credit (childcare element) to pay for your fee. By using the childcare element of your working tax credit, you could get up to 70% of the childcare costs you’re claiming, for up to a maximum of £175 per week for 1 child and £300 a week for 2 or more children.

Who qualifies for the childcare element?

To qualify for the childcare element, you need to be working a certain number of hours. If you are a lone parent you must work at least 16 hours a week or in full-time education and if you are a couple and working for at least 16 hours a week unless of one of you are in full-time education, statuary leave or entitled to carers allowance.
