Working parents who claim certain benefits are being urged to see if they are eligible for financial support worth hundreds of pounds each month.
Parents receiving Universal Credit and other financial help can claim back as much as 85% of childcare costs if they are in work. Households can claim back up to £646 for one child and £1,108 for two or more children per month, Lancs Live reports.
The support runs from birth to children under 16 (or under 17 and disabled) to help families on lower incomes to work. It can be used to meet the costs of before and after school clubs as well as nursery, pre-school and childminder costs.
