Childcare costs

[chris79]

I run my own limited, my other half is the company secretary and works part-time for the company doing books and other smaller bits of work for another client we have... maybe 16 hours a week or so...

We're looking to put our 2yr old into Surestart childcare, is there any help available towards the cost of this, and does the level of money you earn from your co. affect the contribution etc? Whats the best way to plan this money wise?

Have a search for childcare vouchers - you can take them out of gross salary and most places will take them. And they come out of pre-corporation tax money too, I think.

Have a look at www.kiddivouchers.co.uk
