Hi, If I want to just do before/after school care can I still be registered for parents to get wftc? Do I then just have to be on voluntary register?

I've decided to work 10 -2 (cleaning with my friend) as she earns double what I do and then just do before/after school childminding. Also she always has work whereas I'm always on tender hooks as parents being made redundant or nan helping out etc. etc and need regular income.

Has anybody else done this? :panic:

You should stay on all the registers because 4 and 5 year olds might come for after school care and they are within the Early Years register.

Yes parents can still register for tax credits in just the same way.

You will need to adjust any benefits you receive for the increased working hours / income.

Good luck with it all! :D

Thank you sarah - I know it's a big gamble but need to earn some regular money.
