  • You may be able to claim back up to 85% of your childcare costs if you’re eligible for Universal Credit.

    You (and your partner if you live with them) will usually need to either:

    be working - it does not matter how many hours you or your partner work or have a job offer. You can claim up to:-

    £646 for one child

    £1108 for 2 or more children

    You can claim Universal Credit online.
