I live with my childrens dad who works full time but with childcare costs today they are so expensive so was just wondering if they help towards.I know they do if you are actually working but do they do it if you are going back into education.I am 24.

Honey if you are single or on a low income they pay it all,
They can pay 5k per year depending on your circumstances

If you or a partner are working over 16 hrs per week then they will pay up to 75% of childcare costs.
However you can apply for funding from bursary etc to pay your childcare while you study.
I studied full time and my childcare was paid for within my bursary award. I didnt pay a penny.

No you have to receive working tax credit to get help with childcare costs, doesn't your course at college have funds to help with childcare most do but have limited funds so you need to apply straightaway
Unfortunately jobcentre can not help with any costs towards college courses

if you are single and working over 16 hours then yes they pay your childcare, if you are with a partner then you both have to be working to claim the childcare element, i have claimed in both circumstances, hope this helps x

If you are single then go to the job centre before you do anything! I believe they can sort this out and help with travel costs. After all it will be helping you to get back into work. You go girl it will help boost your confidence!

if you are declaring your partners income you should be able to claim so much for childcare
