school hols & tax credits help

[suzanneb]

can anyone help with this question. my son is starting preschool in jan, as i work 16 hours we currently get help with his private nursery fees, however he is leaving the private nursery to start at a infant & nursery school where he will do 5 mornings a week. 2 of these day i work so he needs private nursery for 2 afternoons only, tax credits have said any extra i pay they can help with the costs of, but does this mean that in the school holidays, when he needs 2 whole days in the private nursery (as school is closed) that they will help with costs towards that too or do i have to pay the morning sessions all myself?? hope this makes sense

Tell TC there is a change in circumstances. They will send you out a new form. Work out how much it's going to cost up until the renewal date. The nursery will have to sign to confirm this. They will then pay the percentage.
