Can I get help with costs?

Yes, there are several government schemes designed to help parents with childcare costs. These include Tax-Free Childcare, Universal Credit childcare element, and childcare vouchers (for those already enrolled). Eligibility depends on your income, working hours, and the type of childcare you use. It's worth checking which scheme might apply to you.
