Stuck at a dead end!

Me and my partner both work but still have no money left at the end of the month. I don’t have anyone except my partners parents to look after my youngest son who is 10 months old otherwise I’d get more hours. We’ve looked into nursery but that is £650 a month for just 8am until 1pm. I feel like I’m stuck at a dead end and don’t know what to do! Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Try looking for daycares that they charge based on your income. I just enroll my daughter they haven’t told me how much I am going to pay because they are waiting for me to show a paystub but a few years ago I had my other girl in that same daycare and they use to charge me $400 a month. It was a really good daycare I never had any problems with them. If you are in downtown LA I can provide you with information

If you get UC you can get almost the whole cost reimbursed but that depends on your circs or get tax free, I get tax free and will get the 15hours free from september which you should get which is going to save me a fortune. Childminders are way cheaper than nursery’s.

@Ann-Marie Dobson Thankyou! I’ve just searched your link and I can get back up to 85% of childcare costs and I didn’t realise. Thankyou for your comment! Xx

@Lili unfortunately I’m in the uk! But Thankyou for commenting xx

@phylly Thankyou! Yes I do claim UC. I’ve just researched it, I didn’t realise I could get that. That would be a great help though and I’m going to look into childminders also Thankyou! Xx

I have a childminder, she’s amazing, lovely cheaper than a nursery and in comparison with my friends children my boy is hardly ever sick and it’s like a home from home for him and the other kids that go there xx
