Help with Childcare Costs
The Government is proposing to help many more families on low incomes with the cost of childcare from 2013. In a report out today, ministers are proposing to allocate £300m - worth up to £175 a week for one child and £300 for two or more.
The extra £300m funding will cover the cost of making childcare available for the first time to the 80,000 women who currently do not receive help because they work 16 hours a week or less.
