So you are just awaiting your certificate... congratulations.
What you need to do is register as S/E with HMRC
Decide who you want to go with MM or NCMA are the primary options and i am not sure if you can get it started or have the option to delay the start until you get some kiddiwinks
Get advertising and get some children

how do you mean with TC's?

Hi
Yes you can still claim. You will need to inform them you are self employed and they will ask you what you think you will earn. You don't give them your gross figure. The figure you give will be after you have taken off wear and tear and expenses.
