then they will pay "up to" 70% of childcare costs,
if you go on to the taxcredits website there is a calculator, this offers an approximate amount they would get.

From the term after a childs third birthday, they receive nursery vouchers, which would enable them to 5 lots of 2 and a1/2 hours of childcare a week in term time. Also if both parents work over 16 hours a week, they should be entitled to working tax credits, as long as there joint income does not exceed 57k (I think its this much, I know its pretty high though!!)
Hope this is helpfull!

tax credits aren't that good but every little helps. Me and my partner are both under 25 have a 9monh old baby and our own home. He works 40hrs per week, I work 15, our joint anual income is less than 25k all we're entitled to is �16 a week child tax credit and no help with child care which costs more than �60 for two days!
