Some working parents can get help towards the cost of childcare. The Maternity Alliance fill you in If you receive Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) you may also be able to claim childcare tax credit. You'll qualify for help with childcare costs if:

If you qualify you can get extra WFTC which will pay for up to 70% of your childcare costs up to a maximum cost of £100 for one child or £150 for two or more children. This means that the childcare tax credit is worth up to £70 a week (one child) or £105 a week (two or more children).
