About you ( whmon) saying about tax credits being paid directly to the nurseries. Well how would you think that might work? I mean from the take that these are means tested so depending on a family income ,they may get up to 80% of childcare costs plus any other tax credits which is all paid monthly in a lump sum. so for example would a child attending a nursery, the parents getting e.g 250 a month towards child care, would then the nursery get a letter from the goverment saying well here is £250 for Child A so you only charge the parents whatever the cost is minus the £250? so if iam not making myself clear very tired. I am a parent and I am a child care worker. I just think giving the funding to the settings is not quite clear cut.
