I'm Currently Feeling: | I can't see how it's worked out either cause it doesn't ask how much we pay in childcare. So it puts us on the lowest £545 a year tax credits, but we currently get just under £200 a month towards the nursery fees. So is this going up or down?? I can't work it out from the website.  |
