Hi Val!

Don't ever worry about the spelling... but please turn off the caps! :D

Not 100% sure what you mean but no, you can't claim for your own children in your ratios... that would be illegal.

More advice here -

3 letter words? :laughing:

No, sorry but you can't claim the child care element for your own children - but it would be good though wouldn't it!! Ummm, I look after my 2 children 24 hours a day 7 days a week at £3 an hour - loads a money!!!!
Pity we can't claim it.

As the others said - although they take up spaces you are unable to claim childcare element for them.
