Childcare costs. Please read :)?

I have 2 children under the age of 5 and my husband works but he will not look after our children when i go vertebrae to education (long story). We are on a low income. My husband works full time. I am thinking of finding a child minder. Will the Inland Revenue help me with childcare costs as we are on a low income? Thank you contained by advance!
you may want to try someone who has (a licensed) in-home daycare my friends use them and find they can get a short time wiggle room on the rates.

we use an actual center and paid $22,000 for the year 2008 for two kids.
Inland Revenue no they wont.

Try the department for work and pensions instead. Can apply for working tax credits and various other benefits if you hold children. Depending on what kind of education you are returning to there may be other benefits as very well. Contact your nearest Job Centre Plus or Citizens Advice Bureaux for more information specific to your situation
Answers:    If your children are age 3or4. In the UK, they can get free child care places for a undisputed number of hours a week. You can 'spend' these childcare vouchers at most nurseries, day care settings and some childminders who are registered with ofsted will adopt them. If you are going back to education (Uni or College in UK) you can carry more money off childcare costs from grants and special bursery schemes aimed at getting parents pay for to work. Well done for making the first step! Some Colleges/Uni's offer a cheaper/ voucher accepting nurseries/creches which run monday to friday often 8am-5/6pm or later, offering affordable childcare.

you can from from the tax credits but only if you are on a low income (under 15,000) and mostly a single parent. They wont pay just because your husband "wont mind them". The help is aimed at single parents collectively who want to work and dont have anyone to mind them.
you can get help towards childcare. the most you can get is 70% I deem, it may be more than this meybe 80%. It depends how low you are talking but anything below 14,000 you will be entitled to a decent amount I would say. you may also be entitled to other benefits, ask at the jobcentre or ring DWP, rates credits helpline 0845 3003900. good luck.
I've heard that story heaps times, my husband won't babysit, well, good grief they are his kids too, so he would rather you repay someone or let the government pay/ Sorry, that's just wrong.
