Childcare for a single Mum

Hi Looking for advise for a single Mum who works 30hrs per week , how much can she claim for childcare

Not sure what she is claiming.
It's her salary that would determine any benefits surely, not how many hours she works or whether she is single?

I would think everyone is different too, depending on circumstances.
Some info here and where to contact: Help paying for childcare - GOV.UK

I think it's 16 for tax credits.

However the amount she will get will depend on her salary

Tell mum to use the Childcare Choices website. It has lots of calculators to work out her estimated entitlements.
