How does this work?
I look after a lo 2 days a week whose mum claims tax credits to pay for his care. Her contribution is about £20 a week, the rest coming from tax credits.
If I could offer a funded place, she would end up paying me about £10 a week for the additional hours above the 15 free hours. If this was only term time though, would she be able to claim tax credits for the additional weeks when the full fee would be due? And could she actually claim tax credits towards the £10 term time that she has to pay?
Does that make sense, or have I got it completely wrong?
