Tax credits is a shame and i don't know why the childminder can't claim the money for the family, because we are not likely to committe fraud it's our business at the end of the day.
The thing is some parents have more than one childcare provider and there is a limit on how much they can claim in childcare costs so it would become very complicated if all childcare providers claimed for the child.
