Thousands of Brits will receive a boost to their childcare payments this week, according to the Department for Work and Pensions.
Roughly £900 million worth of support will be made available to low-income families who rely on childcare support from Wednesday, June 28. Part of this package includes a 47 per cent rise in the amount parents can claim for childcare while also receiving Universal Credit.
Overall, this equates to £951 for one child and £1,630 for two or more children. The government will also offer to cover the costs for the first month of childcare when parents enter work or significantly increase their hours
