hi all,
need a bit of advice, i am playworker by profession and work for my local council. I absolutely love my job and teh kids that i work with. I have just had first child and i n teh process of looking around for hnurseries and child minders and i am not getting much luck :-(
child care is so expensive, its currently coming around ÂŁ400 for half days and i only earn almost twice that a month! my working tax credit and child benefit comes to ÂŁ160 a month
If i go back to work half of my salary will go to a nursery or childminder.
is it even worth going back to work? my husband earns around 20k and i hate to admit but i am actually thinking of staying home and claim benefits!
is their any one here who could help me in what i can claim and how much would it come up to?
